I was wondering: A.) Is there work in progress to build Linux Emu into the Kernel? As when I try 'options COMPAT_LINUX' in the config file; config warns of an invalid option. -- B.) Am I barking up the wrong tree? Should I just install debian? -- My ultimate goal is to use the FP capabilities of the EV56 for asymptotical analysis. I'm hoping that this architecture will behave more predictably than i386. I'd like to install programs like Mathematica and Matlab for Linux. Given that I've had luck with FreeBSD on the i386, I was hoping to stay with a good thing on the alpha. Please help, I'd be willing to test, report or even contrib. -RC
