First, thanks to everyone who replied to my earlier post about Linux
emulation. I have now restored my FreeBSD /sbin/ldconfig, and added 'modload
-e linux_init /lkm/linux_mod.o' to my .login. (Before 'startx'.) I now get
this when logging in:

Linux emulator installed
Module loaded as ID 1
ld.so: xinit: bad magic number is "/usr/X11R6/lib/libXmu.so.6.0"

The file /usr/X11R6/lib/libXmu.so.6.0 is:

ELF 32-bit LSB dynamic lib i386 (386 and up) Version 1

These files came from the tarfile 'linux_lib-2.0', should I have used the
'linux_lib' tarfile? I thought a later version would be better, but it might
be that it has libraries that 2.1R can't use?
