|
|	here are the steps that i took this morning to get netscape
|	with java working through linux emulation.
|
|0.      run X in either 8 bit (or 24 bit or 32 bit ???) mode
|1.      create /compat/linux/etc and /compat/linux/etc/lib
|2.      create /compat/linux/etc/host.conf containing:
|        "order hosts, bind"
|3.      get the package linux_lib-1.0.tgz from ftp.freebsd.org
|        or the 2.10R install cdrom (/packages/All/linux_lib-1.0.tgz)
|4.      install the package (pkg_add -v linux_lib-1.0.tgz)
|5.      load the linux emulator (modload -e linux_init /lkm/linux_mod.o)
|6.      get the linux version of netscape
|7.      install it carefully (some parts are)
|	/usr/local/netscape/java/classes/moz2_0.zip
|	/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB
|	/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/nls/{C,nls.dir}
|8.	you may get a very large number of console messages
|	"syslog() not supported (BSD sigreturn)"
|
|	to get rid of these you must 
|		unload the linux emulator (modunload, use modstat to get the id)
|		edit /sys/i386/linux/linux_dummy.c
|		comment out the printf on line 195
|		recompile /lkm/linux_mod.o
|		load the new emulator (5. above)
|
