This is what is in mine: # NOTE: The next line is critical for boot! none /proc proc defaults 0 0 # glibc 2.2 and above expects tmpfs to be mounted at /dev/shm for # POSIX shared memory (shm_open, shm_unlink). # (tmpfs is a dynamically expandable/shrinkable ramdisk, and will # use almost no memory if not populated with files) # Adding the following line to /etc/fstab should take care of this: none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 >From that I gather that the system won't boot without /proc and that glibc requires /dev/shm for some reason or other. I'm not sure why you want to remove something that appears to be required. Maybe you have something different that doesn't need this? Hope that helps. Dale :-) :-)
