I'm not too sure how much I like using /var for large things like this either. Certain programs like mysql and mailers tend to use /var by default and by default we have tiny /var partitions if you're trying to store mail or databases. Adding lots of debugging binaries to /var will severely limit that. I think our default for /var is the same as / infact, not certain on this though. Only place I can think outside of root that is sufficeintly large would be /usr. /usr/local/kernel.debug? -- Ryan Sommers ryans@gamersimpact.com
