Copy kernel.debug to /var/crash? That allows only a single kernel to be debugable. There is no unque filename I can think of that gives us what putting the symbols beside the kernel does. If it helps get better bug reports from users in -CURRENT (the in-development version), isn't it worth a little disk space. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org)
