Someone was talking about patching the linux emulation to prefer (say) loading shells, etc from the emulation tree. IIRC, the install script is "install.sh" ... I ran /usr/compat/linux/bin/bash install.sh ... which caused it to choose binaries like /usr/compat/linux/bin/uname, etc. I think I also got further with the installation when I copied the cd to disk and did some editing on the install script, but I forget what I was doing. Whatever wine is doing is not 100% compatible with the FreeBSD emulation, though. I can get Quattro Pro to run, but it malfunctions in many ways. Word perfect won't run --- it dies trying to play some sound. Since Corel Linux won't run under VMWare, I'm going to try to get debian installed on VMWare to install this stuff and at least see it running. I must say that I'm dissapointed that I can't run it.
