The most important part, having the kernel handle Linux system calls is automatically installed by default but it might not be enabled. To enable it put linux_enable="YES" into /etc/rc.conf To run dynamically linked binaries you also need a set of linux link-libraries. To get those you should install the emulators/linux_base port. > > > It runs most Linux programs just fine. > > Are the binaries compatible? Not sure what you are asking here, but yes, with the Linux-compatibility stuff installed and enabled FreeBSD will run almost all Linux-binaries. -- <Insert your favourite quote here.> Erik Trulsson ertr1013@student.uu.se To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
