Anyways, John, what do you think of this change? I think it would make debugging easier for those who want it, however the ELF_VERBOSE name is a tad bit generic to make it a make.conf variable. I prefer it to be ELF_BOOT_VERBOSE or something like that. Or ELF_BOOT_DEBUG. Just my interpretation to get this integrated. -- Jeroen Ruigrok vd Werven/Asmodai asmodai@[wxs.nl|bart.nl|freebsd.org] Documentation nutter/C-rated Coder BSD: Technical excellence at its best The BSD Programmer's Documentation Project <http://home.wxs.nl/~asmodai>; Sleep tonight, sweet summer light, scattered yesterdays, the past is far away...
