	/proc is a special filesystem.  It is not intended that you add that
to your search.  I rewrote the updatedb script to exclude /proc, /tmp,
/mnt, and the floppy drive mount points.  This way, it just provides a
list of files on the drive.
	I'm currently going through a reinstall; but once I'm done I'll post
the revised updatedb script.
