Probably your definition of 'running' > is less strict than mine. As in, just dumped the executables onto the box, and had it run - I haven't attempted to run any guest OSes yet. The USB functionality looks like it's going to need either a userland ELF redirection (via the LD_PRELOAD mechanism) to 'pretend' to field Linux usdevfs requests. Either that or we're going to need to port (hack, spit) usbdevfs. The userland solution is probably quicker to punt out and code (map open/ioctl and other syscalls, match by path, onto /dev/ugen*) than porting usbdevfs. Joe Karthausen is talking about making this a project (porting 3.1). Less talk more rock? :-) BMS To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
