Check handbook and FAQ 1b. Search mailing list archives using likely keywords. Follow links. 2. Net search for your question with Alta-Vista or similar search engine. There's a growing number of independant FreeBSD resources on the net these days. 3. Ask as specific a question as possible (being also sure to indicate important details such as your OS version) in freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org and hope one of our volunteer tech support folk can answer you. 4. Post in comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc. :-) -- - Jordan Hubbard FreeBSD core team / Walnut Creek CDROM.
