If you are looking to port it, below are some links that would be a good place to start off with reading. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/arch-handbook/index.html http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/index.html http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/index.html http://www.freebsd.org/docs/books.html _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
