	While there is applicable information, based on your
description I do not believe this is a job the Handbook was ever
intended to address.

	What is there in what you want to do that is specific to
FreeBSD?  Based on an uninformed guess, it sounds like 90+ percent
of these tasks are UNIX-generic; what's left could easily vary with
your unique case and might be best handled to questions to targeted
mailing lists.

	However, if someone _has_ done this having that on the record
would be nice.
