No chance in hell... We're already looking for ways to decrease the disk space used by both a LiveCD and GRP, so we can do more elaborate things. If any form of debugging became a "default" for Gentoo, we would probably have to turn it off, or start looking for a LOT more mirror space. -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering - Operations/QA Manager Games - Developer Gentoo Linux
