Linux Compat

Hi,

I just did a 6.2 scratch install and missed one thing.  
I am sure I remember from previous version installs that it
asks if I want to install the Linux Compatibility stuff.
But, this got all the way done without mentioning it at
all.
I normally check the All selection on these boxes.   I went
back and looked and didn't notice any additional place to
check this.

Am I missing something, or is this now just a standard part
of
the base?    I rummaged through the Release notes and didn't

see anything mentioned.

Did you try the handbook?

_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/linuxemu-lbc-install.html

You'll still need to kldload linux and install a base from
ports as per 
usual.

Maybe I didn't ask my question well.   What I meant to ask
is - is this
a change that I missed somewhere.   I used to get asked
during the
installation process for a yes/no and I did not see it this
time.   I think 
that got some runtime libraries installed along with the
linux_enable="YES"
plunked in the rc.conf for me.

I am aware that I can do it myself later - say I had said no
during
sysinstall or whatever.

Anway, I didn't see it mentioned that this question was
removed from
sysinstall and I wondered if I missed something - either
during the install
or in the documentation somewhere.

You are very diplomatic.

Last time I ran sysinstall - installing a new system about a
month ago, 
in late January 2007 - it *did* ask me the Linux question.
This was 
probably from the 6.1R CD set.

Did you run sysinstall after installing a working system, or
was this a 
new install on bare hardware?

Not everyone bothers to read your entire message throughly.
Been there.

Yes, I think I remember seeing it during a 6.1 install,
though the last
one of those I did was several months ago.

Well, sort of bare hardware.  I wiped out and overwrote a
Suse installation
that came with the machine (a Dell 2950 with Perc I raid).

Yah,  I miss parts of people's posts in the rush to respond
often enough too.
