Hi freeBSD people:

I purchased freeBSD in a bookstore and found it to be great. But I encountered the following problem:
While trying to install Netscape (for LINUX) the BSD returns with a message that ELF is an unknown binary-format. And while trying to install the german Star-Office package the installation fails due to missing rpm support. 
How can I install these packages?
I am looking forward to response.
Martin
