-This software is based in part on the work of the FreeType Team.
-See <URL:http://www.freetype.org/>.
+Some programs need linprocfs mounted on /compat/linux/proc. Add the following
+line to /etc/fstab:
-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).
+linprocfs /compat/linux/proc linprocfs rw 0 0
-----------------------
-You should enable Linux mode with the linux_enable variable of rc.conf(5).
-Depending on the version of FreeBSD you are using you may have to increase
-the emulated linux version via compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.18 in
-sysctl.conf(5). Check via "sysctl compat.linux.osrelease" that it shows a
-lower version number before setting it.
-----------------------
-
-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.
+Then run "mount linprocfs".
