Good evening all,

I was wondering where all my disc space went, so I ran "du -smx *" from the 
root directory and found that /proc was using up 898Mbyte.  That didn't seem 
right to me so I listed the contents (ls -la) and found the following file;

-r--------    1 root     root     939528192 Dec 19 17:41 kcore

>From what little I know about the /proc file system, this seems like a 
candidate for deleting.  Before I blow it away can anyone tell me if I'm 
right or wrong about that.

Regards,
Ewan
