According to Terry Lambert: > For Linux binaries to function, they must be "branded" as type > "Linux"; form the "brandelf(1)" man page: > > % brandelf -t Linux file > > When this is done, the ELF loader will see the "Linux" brand on > the file. Note that branding a Linux binary is only necessary for _static_ ones because the loader has no information in the binary itself about its type. -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- FreeBSD: The Power to Serve! -=- roberto@keltia.freenix.fr FreeBSD keltia.freenix.fr 4.0-CURRENT #71: Sun May 9 20:16:32 CEST 1999 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
