There's a wide range of options, from the expensive to the free online stuff. At the high end, we have: $1300 https://www.mckusick.com/courses/introorderform.html $1500 https://www.mckusick.com/courses/advorderform.html At the low end, we have things like: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html http://www.vsi.ru/library/Programmer/fbsdkern/ You could also look at the "Blue Prints" column at the web site http://www.daemonnews.org/ There is also a "new users" section there: http://www.daemonnews.org/new2bsd/ And there is always the mailing list archives: http://docs.freebsd.org/mail/ -- Terry
