Will Freebsd run RPM format files? I think theres a port to install things with RPM's though i don't see why you would like that funcionality. FreeBSD has a ports collection which probably contains most of the software that you'll find in RPM's. On other way to take the question is "can freebsd run linux binaries?" if that was your question, the answer is yes!, FreeBSD has linux emmulation. > 2. Is there a DOS emulator for Linux? for linux? yes, i think there are several. for FreeBSD, i know there are several. > 3. Does FreeBSD support Motorala compilers? if you mean a cross compiler that targets motorola processors, yes. you'll find one in the ports collection. regards, -oscar To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
