That would use up even more space, in total. Huh? I mean kernel, *.ko -> /boot/kernel and kernel.debug (or kernel.sym once that's fixed) -> /var/crash/kernel/kernel.debug I guess that duplicates a few megs but it keeps / from overflowing as before. Typically /var or /usr is expected to have the available space, especially since /var/crash gets coredumps (if savecore is enabled) which are much bigger than debug kernels. -- Nate
