Don't post many questions in one message.  Answering one question in a
message is ok, but trying to answer many is usually the cause of long,
twisted and complicated threads.

That will not work.  Many tools in the /linux root depend on features
of the Linux kernel, and while you are booted into a FreeBSD kernel
those features won't be available.  You might try various tricks with
the Linux compatibility of FreeBSD, but nobody can guarantee that
everything will work as expected.

You can always install a DHCP server to one of the machines of the
local network, and use dhcp-client to grab addresses off it.  Then a
local name server can assign whatever names you feel like to the IP
addresses.  That's one option.

Another option is (if all the machines of the local network are
running UNIX) to use /etc/hosts files that you copy around, and
avoid running a local name server.

Read the manpage of burncd.  You should be able to convert mp3 or
other audio formats to .wav files and then use:

	# burncdd -f /dev/acd0 audio lala.wav koko.wav fixate

For more details on burncd options, look at the manpage.
