Dear troll, This is not an acceptable manner of replying to users who ask for help on this list. If you don't have anything constructive to say, then by all means don't. See the charter of this list, as posted by Greg Lehey, for details. The freebsd-questions mailing list is a place where anyone is allowed to ask for help of any sort, as long as it pertains to FreeBSD. If we as a group answer legitimate and well-written questions like the original in the same way that you did, the people asking them might be offended. Not by you, as a person, not by me or anyone else. By the ``FreeBSD people''. So do us, and all the FreeBSD users, a favor and spare us the irony. - Giorgos ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Look at the bibliography section of the FreeBSD Handbook for interesting books. Out of the top of my head, you should try to get yourself a copy of at least the following: a. ``The Design and Implementation of the 4.4BSD Operating System'', by Marshall Kirk McKusick. b. ``The Design and Implementation of the FreeBSD Operating System'', by Marshall Kirk McKusick. c. ``UNIX Network Programming'' by Richard W. Stevens. d. ``TCP/IP Illustrated'' by Richard W. Stevens, Volumes I & II. These might amount to a large sum of money, so you might want to explore the manpages and online docs at www.FreeBSD.org/docs.html first & experiment a bit with an installed FreeBSD system to see if you can find something interesting. Finally, a great source of knowledge about the way FreeBSD works is the source itself. I still can't believe all the stuff I've learned by reading parts of the source tree during the past 4-5 years, and I have *so* *much* more to learn... - Giorgos ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Probably you'll want to read _The Design and Implementation of the FreeBSD Operating System_ by McKusick, et al. ISBN 0-201-70245-2. It came out two months ago. Another good book is _Porting Unix Software_ by Lehey ISBN 1-56592-126-7. It's from 1995 and out of print, but you can get it used from amazon.com for US$2.00 and well worth the read. For additional references, you may want to ask on the hackers@ list. HTH, Stheg ___ Do you Yahoo!?
