Salve,

I always thought that building a kernel with debug symbols would increase t=
he=20
kernel size dramatically. But if I understand things right the additioal=20
"symbols" (code snippets?) are not in the kernel but in a different file=20
which makes the kernel the same size like without debug=3D-g. Is there any=
=20
reason to not build it with debug=3D-g?
Also I thought debug kernels suffer from reduced performance. I also have D=
DB=20
in my kernel and don't _feel_ any difference. So again, is there any reason=
=20
not to put DDB into the kernel?

Thanks,

=2DHarry
