Julian's advice is really good, however there is a particular thing one can do to leverage a starting point: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr-summary.cgi This lists all the outstanding bugs found in the system, I would suggest looking at them, seeing which ones you might be able to sort out and fix. You can also use the problem report database as a means to study how things are fixed, which can help you to understand the system as a whole. best of luck, -Alfred To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
