    I have taken a look at the PR list before, but I get depressed when I look at
    some of the requests. Some requests don't look very hard, but they require
    hardware that I don't have. How do you guys go about handling bug fixes if you
    don't happen to have certain hardware that someone else may have?

    Also, when you're working on a PR, do you roll your OS version back to whatever
    the PR requires? If so, do you just cvsup downgrade your source and "make
    buildworld... etc"?

    I have lots of interest in beginning some simple tasks with the kernel, but
    it's quite difficult to know where to start. I'm good at C/C++ and have taken
    an OS course; I just don't know how this particular kernel works on most levels.

    Many thanks,
    Mike Grim

    PS - Terry, I'm sorry for sending this to you directly. It was my fault for
    not realizing it didn't go to -hackers.
