Hi all,


I've tried building dosemu on FreeBSD with little success... the build seems
to involve the 'as86' assembler and 'ld86' linker. I got the source for these
but they don't seem to play nicely together under FreeBSD. Has anyone had
any success with this?

As an alternative, can the linux binary for dosemu be run in "LINUX
Compatibility" mode? If so, which *type* of linux binary should I look for
zmagic, omagic, elf, or something else completely different :}  

Any insights would be appreciated.



Cheers,
