	Unless there is a new Micro$oft FreeBSD emulator out there,
	you will need to install the Berkeley OS itself to run FBSD
	binaries.

	If you have expertise in software porting you could try 
	porting the source, or parts of it.

	Dunno how you can gunzip and untar the tarballs, but the
	source is probably on the Life Filesystem CD.

	---Anybody else?
