ok, you are right, but in /usr/compat/linux there is no home
folder for 
example, however file chooser of linux-firefox shows it
together with other  
folders from FreeBSD root folder. Isn't it weird to mix
folders 
from /usr/compat/linux and / ? Is there any configuration of
this?

And how to jump to the real / folder from linux-app file
chooser (currently I 
just created a soft link to it)? There is button called
"Filesystems" but 
that does not go to freebsd /.

natively built firefox just hangs on amd64 FreeBSD 5.5 when
started. Tried to 
rebuild/upgrade it couple of times but did not help.
 firefox-1.5.0.6,1

No, there's no config of this. The linuxolator depends upon
this
behavior. Without it it it either couldn't find the linux
libs, or you
aren't able to access your files with the native path.

If you need to access a file which isn't visible, you just
have to type
in the full name. This way you aren't able to access a file
which is
also available with different content but the same name
in /compat/linux, and you aren't able to browse with the
mouse, but you
can at least access it.

There's no way to go to see the real / (except you do a
null mount to
somewhere else or something like this).

Bye,
Alexander.
