Some of this may be covered in the ``FreeBSD Internals'' chapter in the handbook (URL above), but I'm not quite sure -- it's been a while since I've looked at that chapter. Sending mail to hackers@FreeBSD.org with specific questions might find you some help too, and searching the mailing lists (http://www.FreeBSD.org/search/) couldn't hurt either. > I'll be very grateful if you are able to tell me whre to find > comprehensive information how FreeBSD works.

I don't have an ETA as to when it'll be on the web site though. - jim -- /* jim mock - berkeley software design, inc - open source division */ /* documentation manager - jim@FreeBSD.org - jim@luna.osd.bsdi.com */ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
