Greetings readers of this newsgroup. I am a very newbie BSD user. My computer has an Intel processor. I have a question concerning Linux emulation. I understand from the book by Ms. Annelise Anderson that, in order to run a Linux program under BSD, the user must first install an emulation program that is 60 megabytes in size. I had thought that all Unix variants worked similarly. I am puzzled as to just why the 60 megabyte program is necessary, and wonder just what it is that it does. There are several complete operating systems that are less than 60 megabytes in size (i.e. MS-DOS, Minix). I realize that this question may have been asked many times before. If it has, could you just refer to me to the correct location to find the answer. Especial thanks to the several readers of this newsgroup who responded very promptly to my previous question.
