Re: about /proc folder
I'm sure that has been there all along. It is a virtual file system with kernel and process information. It provides a window into the Linux kernel. Do not try to delete it!
In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they ain't.

/proc has always been there and never noticed before
