--- Comment #2 from John Smith <godevilove@ya.ru> ---
> Using yum you have no guarantee over what's installed to /compat/linux (F=
reeBSD does not use yum)

Could you expand on this?
IMO, it's yum's job to guarantee what's getting installed into /compat/linux
(if it works properly on FreeBSD's linuxulator). Does it fail to guarantee
that?

Or did you mean that if I install something using yum - pkg will not know a=
bout
that (IMO, that'd be absolutely logical and absolutely acceptable).

So linux packages should get installed like all other ones? using pkg (or
building from ports)?
If so - then the pkg/ports repository now has a lot of linux packets, right?
Then how to distinguish them from FreeBSD packets? Is there some naming
convention maybe?


I might be asking very newbie questions, but man page of linux_base-c6 does=
n't
cover that and folks on the IRC channel were not absolutely sure of how the
system works.
If there's either some FAQ/wiki somewhere - please link it, otherwise - ple=
ase,
describe all that stuff in a man page.
