Not sure if its an accident or not; hg being the development tree, it kinda makes sense to have debug information turned on... perhaps we should have a new target which will strip the things before installing them tho for this situation. I'm not sure if the kernel will actually load the debug information tho - which perhaps means it is a bit pointless... unless kgdb can use it? (I've never tried that so I can't say). _______________________________________________ linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
