Well, I suggest you find a corner of FreeBSD and improve it. It is far easier to change code than to write it. The src/TODO file contains some ideas for things you can start to look at. Some of them is huge&nasty, some of them are small and easy. If none of them sound like fun to you, send me email, and we'll find a good little project for you. Now, that should teach you never to volunteer again! :-) -- Poul-Henning Kamp -- TRW Financial Systems, Inc.
