Doing it that way in every corner, you'll have a system which requires plenty of Gigs to install in a few years. A debug kernel by default would just be the beginning of a systematic waste. Why do you love BSD? Because it's different? Well, I love my beasty because it installs and runs in small to large size systems. And I love it because it's fast. If you blow up everything, your beasty will get slow, fat and ugly. Personally I would not care about a debugging kernel on my disk but the way poeple think (size doesn't matter, price doesn't matter) it's the very first step into the direction of blowing up everything - because size doesn't matter. Intel & Co will welcome you very friendly because going that way you'll always need the latest computer systems to run your beasty. </2ct> Volker -- GPG/PGP fingerprint: FF93 13A1 2477 B631 E953 06DF 4C49 ADD9 E4BF 79B1
