How to leave /proc/[pid]/status files not be deleted, even when the proc ended?

As far as I know, the /proc filesystem is a virtual filesystem created by the kernel to provide an easy access to the running processes. If a process is terminated, the relevant directory will be deleted.

I don't think this behavior could be changed without hacking something in the kernel...

I'm trying to use this toolset:

You can find it in the extra repo, named "acct".

There was something about that today on the ML. It seems you'll need to compile a kernel with this feature.

OK, I am going to the arch wiki to get some help about compiling a kernel.
I haven't done something like this before, any tips?

Back up your existing kernel, and have a Live CD in case something goes wrong and you can no longer boot from your harddrive.

I've no idea on how to back up or restore a kernel.
But I have a CDLinux.
It's time to have a bet:)
