What version of FreeBSD are you using? you can use them. you have to enable linux emulation. install "linux_base" from the ports or if you have the FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE disks: mount /cdrom cd /cdrom/packages/All pkg_add linux_base-7.1_2.tbz and include a line saying: linux_enable="YES" in your /etc/rc.conf file. Some linux programs are included in the ports, v. gr. netscape 4.8, you can install it from the ports. > > I have no sound, but that seems to me a more elaborate question I will > deal with separately. you have to build a new kernel that can handle it. read the manual [/usr/share/doc/en/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html] to do this. what sound card do you have? must sound cards require only include device pcm in your kernel configuration to handle them. > > Thanks to all those who can give a hand. > > > Teilhard Knight > The Extraterrestrial > > Who ate my sandwich?
