Hello all,

I'm looking for the following things for OpenBSD 2.6:

- tutorial(s) on how to build/modify the kernel - I had to use stuff for
FreeBSD and alter that to suit OpenBSD
- tutorial(s) on basically the entire src hierarchy and how to build
individual parts, as well as enabling/disabling parts in a global, all-out
megabuild
- driver(s) for SoundBlaster PCI512 sound card
- driver(s) for NTFS filesystem, or a tutorial/whatever on the NULLFS on how
to (best) adapt the the driver code I found for FreeBSD
- drivers for the Intel PIIX4 chipset
- Matrox Millenium G200 specific drivers for X

The tutorials would be most appreciated, with the PCI SB driver as _verrry_
close second.
thanks in advance.

the faq at url:http://www.openbsd.org/faq/index.html, specifically
url:http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq5.html should at least get you
started.

I'm not sure that any real tutorials are available, but questions to
mi...@openbsd.org or keyword searches starting at url:http://www.openbsd.org/mail.html
might yield some results.
