Re: FreeBSD Internals e-book
I am starting my own FreeBSD documentation project. The name of the new book I am writing is FreeBSD Internals. I can't resist mentioning that Kirk McKusick and others are working on a (paper) book on FreeBSD kernel, based on FreeBSD 5 series to replace very good but aging Design and Implementation of 4.4BSD Operating System (from the FreeBSD viewpoint). Last time I talked with him (early this summer) he had a guesstimate that it'd be complete next summer. OTOH, predicting is hard, especially predicting the future. ;) I'm sure waiting for this book... There's also FreeBSD Architecture Handbook (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/arch-handbook/index.html) which supposedly works well as a patch set for the 4.4BSD book for the folks that already feel reasonably comfortable with kernel concepts. -kirma ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Is the basic system itself still close enough to 4.4BSD to be a useful reference to FreeBSD?

I think your idea is very nice, however, it sounds as if you will not be able to complete the project on your own without a lot of help from other developers, which might be unrealistic, so perhaps your time would be better spent assisting with another documentation task instead.
