linux_base-7 is working fine here; however, I often have to edit
the listed dependencies in ports makefiles to get them to install. In
particular, many of them look for /compat/linux/usr/lib/ld.so
explicitly; in linux_base-7, this file is ld-2.2.2.so.
With that done, Netscape, Opera, and StarOffice 5.2 all work just
fine. I haven't yet tried StarOffice 6.0-beta. I'd be interested to
know what has to be done to kludge it to install properly, aside from
replacing all references to /bin/sh to /compat/linux/bin/sh in the
install scripts.
