Not sure if anyone has tried this, but I run the BSDI version of 4.7. I've been running BSDI versions of Netscape for some time now without problems. The binary size for BSDI version of 4.7 is only 10711040 bytes long, which is significantly smaller then Linux or FreeBSD 2.2 versions. Also comparing Linux 4.7 to BSDI 4.7 in top, Linux reads 20404K displaying start copyright notice, BSDI version uses 14788K. Not sure what the additional memory requirements of use BSDI emulation are, but I can notice the speed difference between Linux and BSDI versions due to less paging. - Nathan Kinsman To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
