It could also be that the BSDI version will run just fine on a FreeBSD system! :-) Well, I should qualify that. If the binaries were generated on a BSDI 1.x system then it'll work great. If it was a BSDI 2.x system then you'll have to get the patches from FreeBSD-current (unless one is already running -current) which allows BSDI 2.x binaries to also work. It's a simple patch. -- - Jordan Hubbard President, FreeBSD Project
