: In case you are asking WHY I want to compile w/o procfs support, I am
: trying to get a 1 MB machine to run as an imbedded system for a router.
: Thus, kernel needs to be small.

In the porting to the Deskstation work that I've done, I've often
disabled procfs to get the kernel to be under 640k when compiled on
the MIPS with minimal devices configured. While that limit is now
gone, I often compile w/o procfs to reduce the kernel loading time off
of the floppies I'm still relegated to using.
