Re: [expert] modprobe: Can't locate module binfmt-00
I'm pretty sure this error message means that the kernel can't understand a type of executable that needs to be run. A fix suggested on the kernel mailing list required an addition of the line 'alias binfmt- binfmt_aout' to your /etc/modules.conf file.

Many older programs that were based on libc5 use this format. binfmt_java is depecated (i.e. do not use it). It's functionality is now included in binfmt_misc. Finally, binfmt_misc is support for miscellaneous binaries. Essentially, you register the "magic-cookie" of the binary type with the kernel (for example, a DOS file's .com extension, a java .class, or even the MZ that is the first two characters of a dos/win .exe file) and define what wrapper program is used to execute them. With this mechanism, it is possible to automagically launch dosemu to run dos programs, WINE to run Windows binaries, or a Java VM to run java applications. -- Anton GrahamGPG ID: 0x18F78541 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> RSA key available upon request Death comes on every passing breeze, He lurks in every flower; Each season has its own disease, Its peril -- every hour. -- Reginald Heber
