So, yes, if you > need to build linux packages the build host should have USE_LINUX=3Dyes > in /etc/rc.conf. The only thing you need on the host is to have the linux kernel module = loaded. (You don't need to have any Linux packages installed there.) = The default setting in /usr/local/etc/poudriere.conf is to have = NOLINUX=3Dyes commented out, i.e., Linux support in Poudriere is enabled = unless you explicitly disable it. The easiest way to load the linux kernel module on the host for use with = Poudriere is to add it to the "kld_list" setting in /etc/rc.conf, e.g., kld_list=3D"linux" Cheers, Paul.=
