Hi i am running dsl on a usb stick. When I run the find command i get an error.
This is a cut down example of the problem;

#find / -name "*.txt"
/ramdisk/usr/local/firefox/defaults/profile/extensions/installed-extensions.txt
/ramdisk/usr/local/firefox/res/cmessage.txt
/ramdisk/home/dsl/changelog.txt
/ramdisk/home/dsl/stats.txt
/ramdisk/home/dsl/test.txt
/ramdisk/home/dsl/.beaver/wordfile.txt
/ramdisk/home/dsl/.mozilla/firefox/t7fnqowa.default/cookies.txt
/ramdisk/home/dsl/.mozilla/firefox/t7fnqowa.default/signons.txt
/ramdisk/home/dsl/.mozilla/firefox/t7fnqowa.default/extensions/installed-extensions.txt
/ramdisk/home/dsl/symptoms.txt
/ramdisk/home/dsl/.dillo/bm.txt
find: unable to open `/proc/888/fd': No such file or directory
find: unable to open `/proc/892/fd': No such file or directory

As you can see the last two lines are complaining about a /proc/ directory any help would be much appreciated.

No trouble. They're just some virtual symlinks to some nonexistent devices, so you can just ignore those errors.

If you really want to have those complaints ignored, you could try something like
find / -name "*.txt" 2>/dev/null
