I'd like to give a look to Linux Compatibility so I add

options "COMPAT_LINUX"

to my kernel definition and then 

---- cut here (Mr.Doug White (c) :-)

I added this to rc.i386:

if [ "X${linux_emu}" != X"NO" ] ; then
        echo -n ' linux-emulation: '
        modstat | grep _linux || modload -u -o /tmp/linux_mod -e \
                                 linux_init -q /lkm/linux_mod.o
fi

And this to /etc/sysconfig:

linux_emu=YES

---------------------------------

When the kernel starts it says the emulator is loaded, so I presume
everything is right...


I took some programs from the Slackware Linux 3.0 cdrom, some others
from my internet provider (Linux 1.2.8) ....

Every program I launch says :

Prog_name: can't load dynamic linker '/lib/ld.so'  

Now I thought I could make a smart thing grabbing from my provider the
/lib directory, put a dir in my hd and then creating a sym link to /lib,
but it could not be so easy and in fact it doesn't work....

I am running -stable #62 ...

Thanks in advance
