Author: dru Date: Sun Oct 13 19:43:34 2013 New Revision: 42950 URL: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/doc/42950 Log: This patch does the following: - comments out Mathematica chapter - adds a comment that the installer shell script works but the binaries don't as only 64-bit is available and to revisit if linuxemu adds 64-bit support - modernizes 11.3.1 - 11.3.2 left untested as binary would not launch Approved by: bcr (mentor) Modified: head/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/linuxemu/chapter.xml Modified: head/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/linuxemu/chapter.xml ============================================================================== --- head/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/linuxemu/chapter.xml Sun Oct 13 19:40:10 2013 (r42949) +++ head/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/linuxemu/chapter.xml Sun Oct 13 19:43:34 2013 (r42950) @@ -326,6 +326,11 @@ multi on</programlisting> </sect2> </sect1> + <!-- + While the installer works, the binaries do not.
