Too much to quote here without making a mess, and I want to get to bed, but thanks for all the ideas.
I noticed the advice with emulators/wine that running programs on an actual MS-Windows partition can make a mess of said partition; wonder if there would be such a hazard with Linux instead of MS-Windows.
It depends. I can not comment upon the quality of the ext2fs part of FreeBSD, but the linuxulator itself will not destroy anything. Theoretically it can be the case that a sloppy programmed (linux-)tool may destroy some data if it wants to use something which does not work, but in this case I would say it is the fault of the tool to not check for errors...
Or let's say it differently: if it destroys something, you should have played Lotto instead of doing whatever you did... ;-)
Bye, Alexander.

So I guess it's worth a try after I get my Linux built and installed, am busy
now with FreeBSD 9.0-RC3.
Also, I want to see if I can cross-build NetBSD from FreeBSD, partly as a dress
rehearsal for building Linux, partly to see how and if cdrtools/cdrecord works
in NetBSD compared to FreeBSD.
So it looks like the linuxulator does not have the hazards associated with
MS-Windows and wine.
