Once (about a year and a half ago) for kicks I set up a Debian installation in a chroot tree under FreeBSD - I was very impressed at how much of the system actually ran. The things I had problems with were things like mount and friends which (I'm guessing) require syscalls we don't (didnt) implement yet. It might be very interesting to run this under a phk jail and perhaps get some of the extra syscalls implemented - this could make for a kick-arse demonstration :-) Kris ----- "Never criticize anybody until you have walked a mile in their shoes, because by that time you will be a mile away and have their shoes." -- Unknown To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message
