I was rebuilding my kernel the other day [4.2-Stable], and I did man config, looked at the "g" option, it says something along the lines of build kernel with debugging symbols [not at a FreeBSD box now], now shouldn't debugging symbols make the kernel bigger, not smaller? I followed the "Complete FreeBSD book" using the -g option, then though, that if I dont' put that in, the kernel should be smaller as it has no debugging info in it, what turned out is that the kernel was actually 6MB instead of the regular 1.5MB, did I misunderstand the "man config" about the "g" option or am I missing something? www.nul.cjb.net www.FreeBSD.org _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
