Out of interest, why not? The first request for additional information after a panic report is virtually always to perform a backtrace against a debug kernel to get line numbers. IMHO, having a debug kernel supplied with -RELEASE would seem very useful for people who don't rebuild their kernel. Note that, last time I checked, it is not at all clear that '-g' does not change the generated code so you can't guarantee to be able to do a '-g' build after the fact and generate a traceback. I'm not suggesting that kernel.debug has to be part of CD 1, but I believe it would make a worthwhile addition to (eg) the live filesystem CD. Peter
