The kernel options provide kernel compatibility and the ports provide userland compatibility. You need both to run older binaries. b. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Running Older Binaries under 8.0
I have a large number of home-grown applications that run under FreeBSD 6.3 and earlier. As we transition to FreeBSD8.0, is there a good single package to add which will provide the right libraries to allow these older binaries to run without surprises? Thank you.
