I tried installing both, using the 'ns-install' script, set all my environment variables, and nothing would even come up! The disk would churn for a second, then I'd get a friendly "floating point exception" message. I'm running FreeBSD 2.2-STABLE with XFree86 3.3. 4.0b5 runs (I wouldn't say it runs well- java won't run in 8bpp graphics mode...). Has anyone had any better luck? I'm now thinking of breaking down and installing the Linux emulator and trying out the linux versions... tom tfischer@rain.fr
