Nothing exists in the base system AFAIK. > thanks all for replies, but for the base system stuff i was trying to figure out things ike what's under /usr/src/sys/dev/ for instance, and say under dev/sound there is usb, pcm, etc. If i man usb i am guessing that only refers to main usb stuff. i got the impression though that everything under sys/dev/ is likely kernel modules and man sound was more appropriate, but no info there. with the linux app, i have an SSE capable CPU and linproc mounted , even SSE2 i'm sure, and have been running some linux apps no problem , including ut2004-demo from ports and even the full linux version if that is relevant. the app is not in ports, i just downloaded the installer and edited the install script to go from /usr/local/bin to /compat/linux/usr/bin. I thought at this point it was either not finding some libs or something similar but have no clue as to what. is there any hope for this to work? and should i be using the rpm installer ? rpm make any difference ?
