In case any of you have, as I do, a couple of teenagers at home who are ardent about KaZaA and are driving you nuts because they insist on a Windows box to run it on (or if you just want to run it under FreeBSD), the steps that worked for me are: Make sure you have Linux_base6.x installed (it complains a LOT with 7.1) and make sure to get the Linux version of the program archive 1. Download the archive 2. gunzip and tar -xf it 3. (Read the documentation, it's not much) 4. brandelf -t Linux kza 5 insert this line into /etc/fstab: linproc /compat/linux/proc linprocfs rw 0 0 6. mount the new linprocfs (umount -a followed by mount -a works nicely) 7. From inside the directory where you installed kazaa (kza-0.401, probably) type : ./kza 8. Follow the directions and you should have a working kazaa 9. Copy the kza file to /usr/local/bin and all your users can eat bandwidth at an alarming rate. I know this is no great shakes, but at least it will give me some moments peace from the "but I don't want to use the Unix machine" noise at my house.
