I have a couple of quesiotns about FreeBSD's linux emulation environment. Firstly, does the emulation layer handle the 32-bit Linux binaries natively, or does it rely on FreeBSD's own 32-bit emulation layer? In other words, can I get away with not loading the 32-bit FreeBSD libraries? I've tried searching, but wasn't able to find any relavent infomation about this next item. Has anyone tried a linux-from-scratch bootstrap process under Linuxulator to create a custom environment? Are there any low-level problems that may prevent me from doing so? And, on a related note, is it possible to have multiple linux trees for emulation? That is, if I mount linsys and linproc correctly in another place (other than /compat/linux), will things work as expected? And my last question... I run 7.2-RELEASE/amd64. Is it possible yet to run a 32-bit WINE environemt under the Linux emulation? Last I heard, the 64-bit kernel was lacking a syscall or two to make this possible. Has this changed? Thanks a bunch! -- Geoff
