    <p>Thank you for taking the time to let us know about a problem with
      FreeBSD.</p>

    <p>This form allows you to submit Problem Reports about issues that
      you believe are actual bugs in either the source, the documentation,
      or the website itself.  If you are having problems with initially
      installing FreeBSD, or have other questions of the form "why doesn't
      <b>foo</b> work" or "does FreeBSD work with <b>bar</b>", please ask
      these questions in the appropriate support forums; see the
      <a href="support.html">support</a> page for more information.</p>

    <p>Before filling out the form, please take the time to read the
      <a href="doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/problem-reports/article.html">
      Writing FreeBSD Problem Reports</a> guidelines.  This may save you
      time and frustration getting help with your problem.  Please
      check before submitting if your problem has not already been
      <a href="&cgibase;/query-pr-summary.cgi?query">reported</a> or
      has been noted in the
      <a href="&base;/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/">FAQ</a>.</p>

    <p>Please fill out the form as completely as possible.  Make sure
      you fill in the "Environment" field as requested with the output from
      the machine on which the problem occurred.</p>

    <p><b>Note</b>: copy/paste will destroy TABs and spacing, and this web
      form should not be used to submit code as plain text.</p>

    <p>Please note that, unless you explicitly state otherwise, any changes
      you submit to the FreeBSD Project are assumed to be under the same
      license as FreeBSD.  Also, the email address that you use will be
      available to the public through the web interface, so you should
      already have an effective spam filter in place.</p>

    <p>If you are submitting a patch file, note that we only accept
      text/* and application/shar content types, and you must therefore ensure that your
      browser sends the correct type.  If your browser does not like
      to do this, a good way to convince it to do so is to ensure that
      the file name ends with the string '.txt'.</p>

    <p>Finally, be forewarned that this page requires that you are able
      to view images as a measure against abuse of the system.  We regret
      having to have imposed this measure, but it is completely unavoidable.
      If you are unable to view images for any reason, please accept our
      apologies for the inconvenience and email your problem report to
      the <a href="mailto:&bugbusters;">bugbusters team</a> for submission
      into the bug tracking system.</p>

    <p><b>Note</b>: before hitting 'submit', please <b>save your work</b>.
      If your browser caches images, or if you take longer than 45
      minutes to fill in the form, you may have a stale image shown on
      your page, and your submission will be rejected.  Depending on your
      browser, you might <b>lose work</b> in this case.  Help save yourself
      from this common frustration.</p>
