hi Stuart

thank you so much. you are very helpful

but someone made this computer to hide something
sysctl -a and /etc/sysctl.conf are not in the system

thank you again

What exactly do you want to achieve by doing this?

This is because the 'files' in /proc don't actually exist as such.

/proc is a kernel reporting (and in some cases tuning) mechanism.
You can't really change much of it, but the items you can mess with are 
mostly controlled by sysctl, so
sysctl -a > mysysctls would copy those settings for you.

for individual files you could probably do something like this:

cat /proc/cpuinfo > cpuinfo.txt

and then copy the cpuinfo.txt file to another computer.

But it would help to know why you wish to do this as it seems there may 
be better ways to achieve your goals.
