But in attempting to compile ports like www/foreign-cdm and emulators/linux_base-c7, I get the impression that I should have set linux_enable in my /etc/rc.conf even to compile them, let alone run them. Is that correct? (A little more context: Yes, I am trying to avoid having a dedicated Linux USB drive to be able to stream Widevine content.) -- George
