Hi folks,
 I am trying to run a Linsux binary on my FreeBSD 2.1 machine but
I get a error message that says wrong architechture. On page 3 of
my FreeBSD manual it says "Binary compatibility with many programs
built for SCO UNIX, BSD/OS, NetBSD, 386BSD and Linux." Any hints
on how I can get this to work?
