Fredrik, have you got linux compatibility (no, not emulation) setup? You'll need the linux_base port and have a line in your rc.conf like linux_enable="YES". Also, try a cvsup to get your ports current. It's not marked as broken anymore. I've noticed several changes to the port in the last few days. I think they're still tweaking it to get it to work right. I also get an error on startup about machine doesn't have a valid hostname, followed by a "gethostbyname() failed". If great things come to those who wait, I can't wait to stop dual booting and just run all my work in NT in a window on my FreeBSD desktop! -Otter > Have Fun... > Ales > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
