Hello everybody! Although I konw that this thread has moved to -emulation but I would like to throw in just a last piece of information... I think we are looking at different issues here... the thing that several files are not shown in the *same* filesystem and directory is the part I do not understand. However, the fact that the file selector dialogs seemingly do not show all dirs is a different matter, at least here. If you cd to a dir which also exists under /usr/compat/linux then you will be taken there instead of the "real" one. So, if you cd to /usr, which is shown in the file selector panel, then you will be immediately and transparently placed into /usr/compat/linux/usr. This behavior has been observed here since at least 3.3 or so... the odd thing is that install scripts and programs often see the paths the correct way now, so eg earlier you could install StarOffice only to /usr/compat/linux/whatever, because the install program did not see the other dirs. Now it does. So does the install shield of RealPlayer7. So, I would say, a partial improvement over previous behaviour already... (Using 4.0-STABLE of April 3rd, linux_base is the one from ports, which is current now.) Just a datapoint, in case someone is interested...
