enable linux compatibility

[Thomas Foster]

have you tried running any Linux binaries?  Have you installed any of the 
linux_base emulator ports?

Try downloading a linux binary or installing a linux based application from 
ports.. if you do not get any elf binary errors then yo umost likely have 
the linux compatibility enabled correctly.  The only other thing to watch 
for are any programs that might require linprocfs

Hope this helps..
