On 6.x, use fc4. On 7.x use fc6 and set compat.linux.os_release to 2.6.16 (which will be the default for 7.x branch starting 7.1 as far as I know). You can use others, but these have the widest coverage in production systems and testing by the emulation team. -- Mel Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules and never get to the software part. _______________________________________________ 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"
