Hi guys, I am currently pursuing my internship and new to freebsd (switched from Ubuntu). Its gonna get used at my work. I have the responsibility to make some modifications and customise source tree as per the demands.Can i get some suggestions on what would be the best way to test the changes i make? Majorly I need to make changes to the current commands and some minor changes to the kernal. I haven&#x27;t done such a task before (like building a complete OS) so i am pretty much clueless. Would really appreciate getting some help. Kind regards, Peter

How extensive are your changes?

You can build an entire release:

  https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/releng/release-build.html

You can build everything other than the kernel, or the kernel itself:

  https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/makeworld.html

Without knowing what your changes will be, describing testing is a
challenge.
