emulators/linux_dist* is what you're looking for I think.

yes I chroot into /compat/linux all the time just make sure that you
kldload linux first to make sure it's loaded first.


Yes, thanx. The problem is that just chroot'ing into /compat/linux
doesn't provides you with a complete linux environment... how does one
add packages and stuff to achieve a full operating (development)
environment?

Thank you in advance,

Hi list,
I'm starting off a new job where I'll be forced to work in a GNU/Linux
environment, and I thought that maybe there exists some way to just
chroot in /compat/linux and have a complete GNU/Linux environment at
disposal, without the need for a dual booting setup.

Any experiences or advices on doing such a thing?

Thanx in advance!

yes I chroot into /compat/linux all the time just make sure that you 
kldload linux first to make sure it's loaded first.

Complete environment on top of /compat/linux

2007-02-09 Thread Pietro Cerutti

Hi list,
I'm starting off a new job where I'll be forced to work in a GNU/Linux
environment, and I thought that maybe there exists some way to just
chroot in /compat/linux and have a complete GNU/Linux environment at
disposal, without the need for a dual booting setup.

Any experiences or advices on doing such a thing?

Thanx in advance!
