Hi Steve,

I'm almost there. I'm having a difficult time trying to mount the procfs. Here's what I've done so far:

# ln -s /usr/pkg/emul/linux/proc /proc

Download the 5.1 binary from the FTP site in Canada to /usr/pkgsrc/distfiles

# cd /usr/pkgsrc/distfiles/misc/staroffice

# make install

Fails on procfs. So, I edited my /etc/fstab to look like this:
/dev/wd0a / fss rw 1 1
/dev/wd0b none swap sw 0 0
/dev/wd0e /usr ffs fw 1 2
/kern /kern kernfs rw
procfs /proc procfs rw,linux

Reboot, so this shows up in dmesg:
Cannot mount procfs -o linux error

Any ideas?

Thanks,

-Anne
