The order in which I learned to do it is: 1) compile kernel. stay in the compile directory 2) cp kernel /var/crash/kernel.debug 3) strip -g kernel 4) make install That saves the trouble of modifying the copy of the kernel that's already installed and chflag'ed. Maybe I should use the --strip-debug option... --Ludwig Pummer To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
