No tarballs? -- [off topic starts here] -- If you want something REALLY fun, try making a Linux from Scratch system on FBSD. You'll need to make two cross-compilers first: one build = FreeBSD host = FreeBSD target = Linux and one build = FreeBSD host = Linux target = Linux (Linux emulation) Not for the faint of heart. (I couldn't do this, so maybe this is all wrong). -- [off topic ends here] -- For sane people, no tarballs, just binaries. :-) But yes, just put the programs wherever you want. But they must be branded: $ brandelf -f 3 myprog -- Josh
