Hi,

I am using FreeBSD since about 2 years.  I installed Version
2.2.1 and it is running fine.  Now i tried to install
StarOffice on the host.  StarOffice is for OpenLinux, but
BSD should be able to run it?!  I placed StarOffice to
'/opt/StarOffice-3.1' and tried to run 'setup' there.  It was
not possible to do.  It said that this is a different UNIX
system.  I placed 'COMPAT_LINUX' into the kernel and
'linux="YES"' into '/etc/sysconfig'.  What is wrong?  It is
written that BSD can run Linux binaries.

Thanks for answers, Norbert Grundmann
