Hi all,

    Installation of the Linux base system is finished. The Linux kernel
    mode, which must be enabled for Linux binaries to run, is now
    enabled. Linux mode can be enabled permanently with the linux_enable
    variable of rc.conf(5).

Since it would be so trivial, is there a good reason why we don't
automate (echo "linux_enable=\"YES\"" >> /etc/rc.conf), and similar
additions from other ports? Checking a few other ports, none of them
that I found do this either...

Maybe there's a general principle I'm missing... :-)

- Ryan
