I guess not. >=20 If you really really need to run it you could always help port it. If you search the mailing list there appears to already be some code for the loadable kernel bits: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=3D24234+26749+/usr/local/ww= w/db/text/2001/freebsd-emulation/20011014.freebsd-emulation The bit that's missing is pulling apart the linux install script to understand how it works and what it does. When I ran the 3.1 binary it complained that the install script hadn't run and produced a configuration file; the install script doesn't complete because it's too linux focussed.
