AFAIR, the native FreeBSD binaries are in the older a.out binary format which is only supported by FreeBSD 3.x, when you have the compat22 distribution (a.out shared libraries) installed. It looks like it's that what's missing. If you're planning to use the Adobe Acrobat Reader plug-in and/or the Macromedia Flash plug-in (both unfortunately only available for Linux), you need the linux_base port (is there a package?) which is a set of original Red Hat shared libraries and utilities for using Linux binaries on FreeBSD and the Netscape Communicator/Navigator binary for Linux. That altogether runs fine :-) To install compat22, look at /stand/sysinstall. > P.S. Also, any sort of GUI for kernel configurartion? Sorry, not yet.
