auto-install-linux_base(8)   System Manager's Manual  auto-install-linux_base(8)

NAME
     auto-install-linux_base - Basic description here

SYNOPSIS
     auto-install-linux_base [version]

ARGUMENTS
     version	 Suffix on an existing linux_base port

DESCRIPTION
     auto-install-linux_base  installs the selected linux_base port on a FreeBSD
     system, enables Linux kernel compatibility, and configures commonly  needed
     special filesystems such tmpfs, linprocfs, and linsysfs.  It simplifies and
     expedites	the  setup  of a FreeBSD system for directly running Linux bina-
     ries.

     Note that FreeBSD's Linux compatibility is not an emulation  layer,  but  a
     kernel module that provides direct support for Linux system calls where the
     Linux  KBI  differs from that of FreeBSD.	As a result, there is no perfor-
     mance penalty when running Linux binaries on FreeBSD.  In	fact,  they  may
     sometimes run faster on FreeBSD than they do on Linux.

RETURN VALUES
     0 on success, non-zero error codes otherwise

EXAMPLES
     auto-install-linux_base rl9

FILES
     /etc/fstab

ENVIRONMENT
     PORTSDIR
