Besides OVERIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT: I suggest to install the fc3 one
instead. It's as adventurous as the rh9 port. But contrary to the rh9
port it has some sort of blessing from the maintainer(s) of the
userland part of the linuxolator (it is supposed to replace the current
default linux base) and you can expect help on emulation@ in case
something doesn't work (there are known deficiencies in all linux base
ports which aren't maintained by emulation@).
Bye,
Alexander.
