Please read the handbook. (Chapter 23. Linux Binary Compatibility) When a Linux program requests `/foo/bar', `/compat/linux/foo/bar' will be the first for FreeBSD to try, and if that doesn't exist, then it will try `/foo/bar', internally. I guess you thought vmware2 tried only under `/' because it displayed `/foo/bar doesn't exist'. But in reality FreeBSD must have tried both `/compat/linux/foo/bar' and `/foo/bar'. -- / /__ __ / ) ) ) ) / Akinori -Aki- MUSHA aka / (_ / ( (__( "If you choose not to decide you still have made a choice."
