Thanks, these are very good documents, and what I was looking for. It would be nice to have a similar document in the FreeBSD docs somewhere, because over time, we cannot rely on these URL's to always be valid. Even having a FreeBSD doc which linked to the above documents (maybe on the wiki?) would not be a bad start. The reason I thought about this was that I have occasionally seen posts on the FreeBSD mailing lists for people who want to submit changes, or try new changes, but don't know how to create patches or use them. -- Craig Rodrigues rodrigc@crodrigues.org
