Sorry, I either haven't received this message yet, or I missed it by accident. I don't like the message either, but I'm surprised that you find it so upsetting. >> Also, if you guys insist of making 'make' generate a debug kernel >> called 'kernel.debug' by default, at LEAST objcopy it to 'kernel' >> to generate the non-debug version during the main 'make' >> procedure rather then during the 'make install' procedure.

Actually I really don't like the idea of building a > debug kernel by default and would really prefer that we not do that. I think we need to discuss this a little more. We also need to have a place to discuss this sort of change. I discussed it at length in -hackers, and nobody objected. How about a "heads up" or a "proposed change" mailing list to which nothing else should be posted? Anyway, while I still think that the default debug kernel is the way to go, I'll back out the changed defaults (and the messages) until such time as we come to another agreement.
