Yes, that is a very nice solution, although you also might say that having "two versions" of the same kernel file could be confusing (and/or wasteful). Also, please note that you might want debug versions of all kernel modules in the same place, since those can cause crashes too, alas. May I suggest /var/crash as a possible location? :) Since you'll be looking in there anyway if you need to debug a crash dump. (On the other hand, I've been installing debug kernels for the past year or so, always using make installkernel.debug, and then renaming all /boot/kernel/*.debug files to their basenames, but this is rather cumbersome. However, you always have all debugging info in one place.) ------------208F5A2E30BEE7 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (MingW32) iD8DBQFBdtRosF6jCi4glqMRAn+8AJ9GyND7F1v+lzBbMn8SnvJlWufvzQCfQf1T oKUoMTJ9ENMq040l4PpJt8E= =3n+d -----END PGP MESSAGE----- ------------208F5A2E30BEE7--
