I like to install a lot of programs in elf format. I'm aware that freebsd can run linux binaries in elf format. I want to be able to access the programs from both linux and freebsd. The problem is freebsd and linux can't mount each other's filesystems (ufs vs. ext2fs). I know that both freebsd and linux can mount msdosfs, but it's inefficient and I don't want to do that. Is there perhaps a better way?? It doesn't make too much sense to install the same programs two times, especailly if I plan to install several hundred meg of software. All suggestions are welcome. thanks in advance, Patrick Leung, pleung@cs.buffalo.edu "Pardon me, sir-- Which way to the Wizard of Oz?" "Just follow the information super-highway--"
