I was directed to this mailing list from the FreeBSD contribute page on the WEB. Could someone provide me with further tips of how I could begin? The most logical way I understand to do this is to: Setup a FreeBSD box [a stable build] Check out the CURRENT build Try a hand at building it and what after that? Thanks -N
