I think you > can "strip -g kernel" but it has been a while. Have never tried this so I wish to be a bit careful. Looking at man strip and the archives, for ELF kernels cd / strip -g --strip-debug kernel Nothing else required, this will reduce the size of the object file /kernel This is a real good thing if it is safe, for those with / partitions that are too small. Safe? Any other steps? Thanks jeff To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
