So I guess that's the fundamental difference between linux-base installed to /compat/linux, and linux-dist? So when I build my Linux installation, then I suppose I can mount that partition and chroot into it? Even as nonroot? Even run X Window applications? I think on some platforms, chroot is root-only, but running ls -l /usr/sbin/chroot in FreeBSD 9.0-RC2 -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 7736 Nov 22 11:08 /usr/sbin/chroot Tom _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
