You misunderstood me.
I know about this package.
But I would like to know what will be next after 45 megabyte download (a
large one for me).
I can't just run it under gdb on non-networked workstation - I will get a
system hang on the crash event.
The question was - how to get a crashed server's core? Perefably without
human interaction - the machine in question is located at user's home, I
can't sit for hours there waiting for a crash ...
If there is documentation in xserver-xfree86-dbg, just tell me about it,
and I will proceed and download it.
