Also, you cannot read the files with older 773 version of the program less: you need to use more or cat. 774 775 It's totally cool; for example, "cat /proc/interrupts" gives 776 information about what the different IRQs are used for at the moment 777 (there is a small number of Interrupt ReQuest lines in your computer 778 that are used by the attached devices to gain the CPU's attention -- 779 often a source of trouble if two devices are mistakenly configured 780 to use the same IRQ).
