If I read this correctly, I don't like it much. Are you saying that the native RPM would install stuff packaged for Linux in the Linux compatibility area? IMHO we should be using the Linux RPM binary to do all installs into the Linux compatibility area. You might want to look at the RedHat installer to see how they bootstrap their installation to the point where RPM actually works for them if that's still an issue. -- \\ The mind's the standard \\ Mike Smith \\ of the man. \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ -- Joseph Merrick \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message
