We also need to be able to run 32 bit linux binaries, probably more urgently than 64 bit linux binaries. The thought of having two linux emulators in the kernel gave me a headache. So that's a bit of a pain. The linux_base-8 port certainly hasn't been updated for amd64 (it claims to be i386 specific). And as long as there are still no loadable kernel modules for amd64, kldload linux isn't an option either. -- pub 1024D/FEA2A3FE 2002-06-18 Adriaan de Groot If the door is ajar, can we fill it with door-jamb?
