Some kind of unionfs seems to be required for our compat stuff. Forgive me if I dont know what I'm talking about but isn't it true that a unionfs would just override those files in /usr that existed in the Linux emulation space ? I suppose there would be problems when Linux binaries would 'see' FreeBSD libraries and try to use them. Anyway to help with your trying to find files in /usr I do the following: - have home directories mounted under /home. - when I do need to use a dialog box to open a file under /usr I type in the directory name first and 'filter' on that (I'm thinking Linux Netscape here). Then you can keep browsing down through sub directories if you wish. On Fri, 10 Sep 1999, Tom Embt wrote: > Now another question: Have you been able to get to /usr?
