I could install the stripped version in / (where there is not much space) and examine crash dumps using the version with symbols. Now I am running the 950322 SNAP, and "config -g" followed by make produces a 7MB kernel which won't fit in my root partion. Also, "strip -x kernel" produces a kernel that won't boot. Is there any way to have my cake and eat it too? Eg, have a kernel with only global symbols for installation while saving a version with symbols for debugging? andrew
