I'm just installing 5.0-RELEASE from the floppies.

Answering yes to "do you want Linux binary compatibility"
during sysinstall causes it to fetch linux_base-6.1 - I
rather thought it would install 7.1.

The package retrieval (from ftp.uk.freebsd.org) goes OK but
then the pkg_add fails. Sysinstall says "add of package aborted,
error code 1". The alt-F2 screen reveals that it is trying to
do a kldload of the kernel module and this fails with a
"kldload: can't load linux: no such file or directory".

Also it couldn't fetch the ports collection from the above
server - not a problem since I can always get it with cvsup.
