freebsd-ports/emulators/linux_base-c6/pkg-descr
Boris Samorodov ff30f4ff7a ATTENTION! The port is experimental for now. Use it at your own risk. This
port may be used only with 7-CURRENT and compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16.

To use/test the port (along with linux FC4 infrastructure ports) you
should do:

0. Backup all your vital information!
1. Remove the current linux base port.
2. Add to your /etc/make.conf "OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=fc6".
3. Make sure no linux application is running.
4. Set apropriate sysctl (compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16).
5. Install emulation/linux_base-fc6.
5a. Those who use linux ports with automatic plist building should
    apply the following patch:
    ftp://mail.ipt.ru/pub/FreeBSD/patches/bsd.linux-rpm.mk-autoplist.diff

That should be enough at most circumstances. If you have difficulties,
please be sure to expand item 1 to:

1a. Remove all ports which depends on linux base port.
1b. Remove linux base port.
1c. Clean /compat/linux/ directory.

In case you want to get rid of the port, deinstall it, then return
back compat.linux.osrelease to 2.4.2 (as usual make sure that no
linux application is running) and remove from /etc/make.conf the line
containing the OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT variable.

All questions, reports, suggestions etc. please route to
freebsd-emulation@.

Fedora Core 6 ports (FC6 infrastructure ports) are coming soon... ;-)

This port would not appear without netchild's help.
Thank you, Alexander!

This port contains packages from a near-minimal installation of Fedora Core
Linux 6. These packages, in conjunction with the linux kernel module,
form the basis of the Linux compatibility environment. It is designed to
provide a nice user experience by using the FreeBSD configuration for
corresponding Linux stuff where possible. Because of this any work which
needs to chroot into the linux base may not work as expected (no fallthrough
to the FreeBSD config possible).
This port is only available for the i386/amd64 architecture (i386/32 bit mode).
If you want to run X11 applications, install the x11/linux-xorg-libs port.
For cross-development this port is not suitable, you should use a linux_dist
port instead in this case.
