Change FAQ 8.3 Why is my kernel so big? Nowadays kernels are compiled in /debug mode by default/. Kernels built in debug mode contain many symbols that are used for debugging, thus greatly increasing the size of the kernel. Note that there will be little or no performance decrease from running a debug kernel, and it is useful in case of a system panic. However I think that debug symbols are in another files (*.symbols) FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE amd64 GENERIC ls -lh /boot/kernel/kernel* -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 12M May 8 2012 /boot/kernel/kernel -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 50M May 8 2012 /boot/kernel/kernel.symbols So a kernel alone has 12MB, with debug symbols 62MB (12+50). And all *.symbols files can be deleted (if more space on /boot is needed) I don't know how it should be mentioned in FAQ. You are right. From the FAQ I understand with 'kernel so big' the contents of the /boot/kernel directory is being referred to as a whole? Thus disabling (commenting) makeoptions DEBUG=-g (which is default the last couple of releases, since 7?) and then rebuilding and installing the kernel you get rid if them 'the right way' So FAQ 8.3 is still right just changing that nowadays it's default for GENERIC to be build with the debug symbols. ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Why does Opera take so long to start? The usual answer is that DNS on your system is misconfigured. Opera perform DNS checks when starting up. The browser will not appear on your desktop until the program either gets a response or determines that the system has no network connection.
