  1. Are FreeBSD binaries supposed to be able to run under NetBSD 0.9 ?
     When I try this, I get "wrong architecture" or some such goop.
     Sounds more like I've got executables for an amiga or such, but
     that's not where I got them...

  2. I'm still unclear how to fix the apropos problem (ie man -k <subject>)
     does not work. How do I do this ? Do I need sources to fix it ?

Thanks !
