I might suggest that development in FreeBSD has many faces.. those who go through the man pages and check that they accuratly describe the programs are as important as those who write new drivers. You could find some part of FreeBSD that has always annoyed you and decide to fix it.. this is how most work is done.. You do not need permission to fix anything. Though it is usually wise to ask first if someone else is already doing it, or if anyone wildly objects to your changes. regards, Julian On Wed, 3 Nov 1999, Gustavo V G C Rios wrote: > Dear gentleman, > i have been using free for the last 12 months!
