So, I guess my question is whether this is a bug or a feature. Obviously, it's necessary in order for some things to work (shared libraries, etc.). However, as the Mozilla bug demonstrates, it also breaks some things that assume that /home is /home is /home. Does $HOME get /compat/linux prepended to it when Linux binaries try to get my home directory? sean -- Sean Harding sharding@dogcow.org | "Never before and never since, I promise, http://www.dogcow.org/sean/ | will the whole world be warm as this." | -- 10,000 Maniacs To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message
