Question: I tried to compile a new kernel with my personal configuration (ISDN, no SCSI, etc) but whenever I type "make" it says after some minutes of compiation: "System full [...]". Where is my problem? I use a 1-GB-HDD; typing "df" I learn that about 60% of /var and /usr are in use (/proc=100%). Do I have too little memory (12K) or a too slow processor (486/DX-40)? [I think that this could *not* be the reason.] 2. Question: I tried to run Liunx programmes; before I did so, I changed in /etc/sysconfig LINUX="NO" to "YES". But having restarted my computer none of them ran. I use the 2.2.1-stable release of FreeBSD and did evereything the handbook says. Where is the error? And one more question: Do Linux programmes run slower on FreeBSD than under their native platform? I mean: is this emulation robbing system resources and computing time? I would be happy if You could answer at least one question so that I will be able to use FreeBSD correctly. Yours, Stefan Veith
