Oh

then what is compat_osf1?

I remember trying to get an ancient version of netscape running on an
OpenBSD Alpha system, hm, lessee 5 or 6 years ago.  I don't think I
ever got it working.

No muck and mire?


you're thinking of compat_svr4.

/emul/linux is a symlink.  put aside 1 inode.

redhat packages get installed under /usr/local.
gzip -l redhat_base-8.0p8.tgz

Caveat emptor - hope it's not a high security application.

With that out of the way, I never put in in /emul - I put it in
/usr/local/emul and I 
ln -s /usr/local/emul /emul 

Having said that on my linux-emul-infected-machine that currently holds
about 100MB of redhat package goo - you might have more, so YMMV
