Good luck in your studies. Alex -----Original Message----- From: m unnikrishnan [mailto:rukmini@ip.eth.net] Sent: 11 July 2001 16:03 To: questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: Free BSD OS required Respected Sir/Madam I am a student of the Undergraduate Electronics Engineering course at the University of Pune (India). As part of the course we are required to implement a project to be completed during the final year(Graduation) . For this purpose we are working on a hardware and software related problem that will essentially focus on creating a device driver framework to output device drivers over a variety of interfaces like PCI, USB, ESA, EISA, IDE etc. on the following operating systems... 1) LINUX 2) Free BSD 3) Solaris 8 This will be an effort to integrate driver development and deployment across the UNIX's and standardise driver development at the same time to keep it as simple as possible. The framework will incorporate scripting and/or GUI based frontends and will hence aim at simplicity and functionality. The end result will be released as an Open Source product probably under the GNU Public Licence wherein all of the programmers can contribute and enhance the utility and robustness of the project. Free BSD is a true manifestation of the robustness and solidity of the UNIX family and is a widely accepted industry standard, so we are keen on including Free BSD diver development support in our target framework. For this purpose we would require to take a look at the driver model, kernel documentation and source code of the Free BSD OS. We would therefore like to appeal to the magnanimity of Berkeley Software Distribution and request from you a copy of the Free BSD OS, it's binaries, source code and documentation. Due to the financial constraints on our side( we are basically students) we are unable to purchase a commercial distribution of Free BSD despite wanting to desparately. We would be obliged by this grand gesture. We would also like to reassure you that there will be no misuse of your magnanimity for commercial gain.
