A long time ago i tried to install Lotus Notes for Solaris to be able to
read company mail at home.

I _think_ the SVR4 emulation reported FreeBSD. After trying to patch the
installationscript i finally installed on a Solarisbox and moved the
installation:)

If uname(1) in SVR4 emulation reports FreeBSD, could it please be changed?
