Perhaps we could do something with making kernel.sym files (and .sym files for the kernel modules). Another idea that I meant to try sometime was to bzip2 the *.debug files (or the *.sym files, if we can generate those). That way, the info would be in the right place when it's needed, but until then it won't take up as much room. I have no idea how practical that would be, though... -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu
