This software is based in part on the work of the FreeType Team. See . Installation of the Linux base system is finished. The Linux kernel mode, which must be enabled for Linux binaries to run, is now enabled. Linux mode can be enabled permanently with the linux_enable variable of rc.conf(5). ---------------------- You should enable Linux mode with the linux_enable variable of rc.conf(5) and use compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.18 in sysctl.conf(5). This is highly experimental! ---------------------- If you want to use shared memory in Linux applications, you need to set up a link from /dev/shm to a suitable place, e.g. by adding the following line to /etc/devfs.conf (takes effect on each boot): link /tmp shm To make use of NIS you have to adjust yp.conf and nsswitch.conf in /compat/linux/etc/ accordingly. For example: Set your yp-server and yp-domainname in yp.conf: domainname my.yp.domainname ypserver my.yp.server Let your lists for hosts, passwd and group be resolved via nsswitch.conf: passwd: files nis shadow: files nis group: files nis hosts: files dns nis WARNING: doing work which needs to chroot into the linux base may not work. In such cases (e.g. cross-development) you are better suited with a linux_dist port.
