<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>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 completey 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, 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>
