This typically degenerates into the "tutor" doing all the work, with the "pupil" not actually getting much out of it. A better way is for the pupil to find a bug report that sounds interesting and not too scary, and spend some time learning about the subsystem(s) involved, eventually getting to understand the bug in that context. While doing that, asking questions of the tutor places less load on the tutor and gives the pupil more "real" exposure. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
