	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)
