here are the steps that i took this morning to get netscape
with java working through linux emulation.
0. run X in either 8 bit (or 24 bit or 32 bit ???) mode
1. create /compat/linux/etc and /compat/linux/etc/lib
2. create /compat/linux/etc/host.conf containing:
"order hosts, bind"
3. get the package linux_lib-1.0.tgz from ftp.freebsd.org
or the 2.10R install cdrom (/packages/All/linux_lib-1.0.tgz)
4. install the package (pkg_add -v linux_lib-1.0.tgz)
5. load the linux emulator (modload -e linux_init /lkm/linux_mod.o)
6. get the linux version of netscape
7. install it carefully (some parts are)
/usr/local/netscape/java/classes/moz2_0.zip
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/nls/{C,nls.dir}
8. you may get a very large number of console messages
"syslog() not supported (BSD sigreturn)"
to get rid of these you must
unload the linux emulator (modunload, use modstat to get the id)
edit /sys/i386/linux/linux_dummy.c
comment out the printf on line 195
recompile /lkm/linux_mod.o
load the new emulator (5. above)
