I think FreeBSD is a slight improvement over Linux. One of the weaknesses of FreeBSD, compared to Linux, is the lack of compiled software. There are many Linux binaries I want to run but I have not been able to execute them under FreeBSD. I installed FreeBSD 2.26 using Walnut Creek's 4-disk CDRom set. The linux_lib-2.4 library is installed and the Linux modulator is loaded at boot (verified by issuing "modstat" command after boot). When I try running Linux ELF binaries I get a "Command not found" message at the prompt. Any suggestions? I am not sure if Linux a.out binaries work, I have not tried them yet. Prior to executing "linux" at boot I started it manually after booting. The FreeBSD book I purchased states that the command line prompt changes after executing "linux", but my prompt did not change. Does this suggest something? Thank you, Mike Yoder To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
