If you do 'get linux_lib.tar.gz' in the ports/emulators directory on ftp.freebsd.org, this will automatically get you a tarball of the installation bit, which you can then untar in /usr/ports/emulators on your system. ie # cd /usr/ports/distfiles # ftp ftp.freebsd.org (login, etc here) ftp> cd ftp> get linux_lib.tar.gz (about 1M) ftp> lcd /usr/ports/emulators ftp> cd /emulators ftp> get linux_lib.tar.gz (about 1k) ftp> quit # cd /usr/ports/emulators # tar tvzf linux_lib.tar.gz # make install (I'm offline at the moment, so you'll need to fill in the appropriate directory names).
