I have taken a look at the PR list before, but I get depressed when I look at some of the requests. Some requests don't look very hard, but they require hardware that I don't have. How do you guys go about handling bug fixes if you don't happen to have certain hardware that someone else may have? Also, when you're working on a PR, do you roll your OS version back to whatever the PR requires? If so, do you just cvsup downgrade your source and "make buildworld... etc"? I have lots of interest in beginning some simple tasks with the kernel, but it's quite difficult to know where to start. I'm good at C/C++ and have taken an OS course; I just don't know how this particular kernel works on most levels. Many thanks, Mike Grim PS - Terry, I'm sorry for sending this to you directly. It was my fault for not realizing it didn't go to -hackers. ------------------------------------------------- SIUE Web Mail ----- End forwarded message ----- ------------------------------------------------- SIUE Web Mail
