I need to make changes to commands like chmod, arp, chown etc. which reside in &#x2F;usr&#x2F;bin, &#x2F;usr&#x2F;sbin, &#x2F;bin and &#x2F;sbin. I need to make minor changes in kernal too, but that&#x27;s for later. The only way I see as of now is to make a freebsd install and test sources after changes within it. Is there a better way around? Thanks for the support,Peter

&gt; Hi guys, I am currently pursuing my internship and new to freebsd (switched from Ubuntu). Its gonna get used at my work. I have the responsibility to make some modifications and customise source tree as per the demands.Can i get some suggestions on what would be the best way to test the changes i make? Majorly I need to make changes to the current commands and some minor changes to the kernal. I haven&amp;#x27;t done such a task before (like building a complete OS) so i am pretty much clueless. Would really appreciate getting some help. Kind regards, Peter



How extensive are your changes?



You can build an entire release:



 &nbsp;https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/releng/release-build.html



You can build everything other than the kernel, or the kernel itself:



 &nbsp;https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/makeworld.html



Without knowing what your changes will be, describing testing is a

challenge.
