Let me just note that that's exactly where I looked when I did the 'make installkernel' which failed because I ran out of disk space in '/'. Mind you, I read UPDATING *before* starting the buildworld, but I went back because I though "whoa, I must have missed something, either this week or last week". If this DEBUG change causes people to run out of disk space during the buildworld/installkernel process, then UPDATING seems the most appropriate place to put the warning. I certainly do not read the release-notes every time I go to do a buildworld. That's just my 2 cents worth, though... -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
