- I need some more room on my root partition, and for the time being I
- can't give it more disk space. I did, however, notice that the two kernels I
- have there are unstripped. As far as I know, stripping an executable is
- harmless, but before doing it to my kernel, I wanted to make double-sure :)
-
- ... So: Is it completely okay to strip my kernel (assuming I don't plan to
- do any debugging)?

- Thanks,
