I have followed instructions in the Handbook and
http://www.linux.com/articles/53055. I am at the point of installing
an appropriate linux_base port and linux_base-f8 seemed like the most
recent/reasonable. However when I attempt to install, I get this
output:
** Port marked as IGNORE: emulators/linux_base-f8:
compat.linux.osrelease: 2.4.2 is not supported
** Listing the failed packages (-:ignored / *:skipped / !:failed)
- emulators/linux_base-f8
Further Google searches suggest that compat.linux.osrelease is a
sysctl setting. I've seen reference to setting it to 2.6.16 but also
that this is experimental. I found
http://wiki.freebsd.org/linux-kernel but this leaves me confused as
well.
Bottom line, what linux_base port should I install and do I need to
set this sysctl to something? I'm confused...
Current default (i.e. well tested and supported) linux base port is
linux_base-fc4 with compat.linux.osrelease=2.4.2. This should be your
first try. If you get any further questions a better mailing list (to
look for additional information as well as asking questions) is

Thanks for your reply and the suggestion of [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Cheers,
