For 2.0.5 and 2.1-R, you must compile the kernel with: options LINUX_COMPAT options COMPAT_LINUX This is due to some screwups in bits of the kernel code that got the option wrong. I'm not sure this works with 2.0.5, I didn't run it long enough to know if this absolutely works or not. I think so though. You must also load the linux_mod LKM and install the shared libs from ports/emulators/linux_lib. >From what I understand, -current only requires "options LINUX". No LKM. That will get you a.out (and possibly ELF support, please check me on that). I have no idea on 1.x; I never ran it.
