I would very much like to know if any other 2.2.5 users have the one mentioned in the manual. When I switched to /usr/ports/emulators/linux_lib I ran the make command as the book specified "FORCE_PKG_REGISTER=yes make all install" but received the error message "FORCE_PKG_REGISTER: command not found" or words to that effect. Sorry I'm at work and this all happened on my home machine. If anyone has run into (and hopefully over) this before I would appreciate hearing how they fixed it! When I ran the make command without FORCE_PKG_REGISTER=yes it started ranting about needing linux_lib-2.4.tgz. > Setting up PPP should be fairly straightforward, and there's a lot of > extra documentation around.
