Linux and FreeBSD emulation question/problem



Hi --

1) As I was following the FAQ for Linux emulation I ran into this problem:

>>Attempting to fetch /usr/ports/distfiles/rpm/glibc-2.3.2-4.80.8.i386.rpm from ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/updates/8.0/en/os/i386/ .
Permission denied.


This has become outdated. What should I do?

2)

Also, I got to thinking that it would be better to have FreeBSD emulation, as they have some ports that I want (e.g., mozart-oz, cmucl, drscheme). The man page compat_freebsd mentions that the kernel must have been compiled with the COMPAT_FREEBSD option and the kern.emul.freebsd sysctl enabled. Does this happen in the GENERIC kernel? How would I find this out? (What commands)?


Thanks in advance for your help and time.

Regs,

Henry
