Using the <Seach> function for the topic <Doom> :) I've found an excellent post on the Linux Emulator Man Page and How-To. To recap, in my custom kernel config - the option should be COMPAT_LINUX and not LINUX_COMPAT which I read in one of the earlier email. After getting the new kernel up and running. I was able to run a couple of apps I written in C with Ncurse support and runs fine. I was able to get Linux TERM=console to display color on BSD console :) Seems like the current Linux Emulator supports only the older a.out format and not ELF. Also, some of my application compiled with the FlagShip database compiler did not work as it report required some generic Linux kernel stuff. Thanks to all those whole email me after I pull an all-nighter search for info to get it working. Wes Chew ++++++++++++++++++++ chew@ns1.icon.net | Power by FreeBSD | ++++++++++++++++++++
