Hi,

first, why do NetBSD use suse as linux emulation ?
I mean why rpm and not tar.gz (from slackware, gentoo, or so) ?

then, it seems the install only rpm2tgz the files and put them in the
emul subdir ?
I mean, there is no "real" rpm database record ?
so if I would like to update the 7.x or upgrade to 8.x, would I only
have to get the rpm and rpm2tgz them into /emul/linux ?

Thanks for answers,
	Jo
