Here's some of the ways that I learned more about FreeBSD: 1) subscribe to the "hackers" "current" and "cvs" mailing lists, pay attention, feel free to ask questions as long as you've taken a serious shot at answering your own question first. 2) take a look at the PR database, look at some of the PRs that either have patches included or don't, try to figure out (a) why the patch works, (b) where the problem could possibly be. 3) while watching the CVS list (as mentioned in #1) have a look at the CVSweb interface and match up the change with the commit. look at the difference and try to judge how this actually accomplishes what the log message says, or better yet, try to find a flaw in the fix and let us know. :) best of luck, -- -Alfred Perlstein - [bright@wintelcom.net|alfred@freebsd.org] "I have the heart of a child; I keep it in a jar on my desk."
