Subject: about linux emulation
Is it possible to chroot into a fully functional linux
environment on
freebsd?
--
Hi Antoine,
I don't know if this fully answers your question as I barely
understand the
chroot process myself. I wanted to install Coldfusion on
FreeBSD (Ain't
gonna work but I tried). First it complained about FreeBSD
not being
supported so I'm like yah so. But what next? I was putzing
around someplace
and found something that went in the lines like this
chroot /compat/linux/ /bin/bash
And to my surprise I was chrooted. I then re-ran the install
process for
Coldfusion and it didn't complain until the very end where
it said can't
find 'ps' and some other little gizmo (I think it was top).
I was bummed
because it seems that ps and top are not part of the linux
emulation.
Admittedly I'm using linux_base-rh-7.3. But anyway I was
chrooted. One last
thing in the path there is also a linux chroot. So my guess
is that you
could chroot with success but wont know until you use some
application that
requires some missing element, in my case 'ps' and 'top.'
Hope that helps.
