- Yeah, I second this motion ! (and third and fourth it !)
- I just posted it for the benefit of those who haven't grabbed it yet
- - I'd certainly recommend any newcomers to use the proc-fs - based one instead

- ie.
- mount -t proc /proc /proc
- and it works fine
- (it also umounts okay, unlike /dev/ram, etc)
