Just wanted to say that I managed to install the
a.out-Linux-Version on FreeBSD 2.1.5-RELEASE. Only problem was
that install script ending with "printp: Cannot exec" (or something
similar). A "MathInstaller -dir /usr/local/mathematica -auto" solved
the problem. You have to edit the mathpass file by hand however...
And don''t forget to put the X fonts in your fontpath of your X-Server.

BTW, it gives funny errors when executing. It always complains about
a non-implemented syscall, but this does not affect execution....
