It's not too hard to say ``strip -d > /kernel'' before rebooting, is it? :) nope, it's not. didnt think about that first... though i strip:ed it in /sys/compile/, after i copied the kernel to kernel.debug, _then_ i installed the kernel... but now that i'm expecting a crash, i'm not getting one. :\ (sure, i could generate one with the win95) > > a person without the internal knowledge it's hard to decide... > It's not too hard.

If you never touched the it's bad ram, right? i'm not really truting my ram, even though it never die on cc... it's still weird. another piece of my hardware i dont trust is the ethernet adapter, i bought it used, it's smc isa combo card. > cd9660 filesystem code (which would at least require a previous mount > -t cd9660), this function should never be called.
