More and more .Os cleanups. .Os is defined in the tmac.doc-common file,
so we shouldn't override it with versions in the manpages. Many more to
come.


# 1.13 16-Jan-1999 lukem

change references from YP to NIS.

Note what to do in the rare case that dirent system calls fail because
of > 32 bit offset cookies: point to the mount_nfs -X option (or -2
option).


# 1.7 29-Apr-1997 perry

Update to note a linux_lib-2.4.tar.gz is available from the
FreeBSD folks.


# 1.6 25-Mar-1997 perry

Update to note that sound now mostly works, and to list the FreeBSD
URL to retrieve an easy to use tar file of Linux libraries etc.


# 1.5 27-Feb-1997 mikel

lowercase manpage names (.Nm); fixes PR 3218.
also cleaned up some .Nm usage and other problems.


# 1.4 15-Oct-1996 fvdl

Note that nsswitch.conf is needed on newer Linux systems; document that
pathnames pointed to by symlinks are not resolved through /emul/linux.

From Bob Baron.


# 1.3 02-Oct-1996 cgd

document that EXEC_AOUT and EXEC_ELF{32,64} need to be specified a kernel
options to get support for those executable types. (Actually, EXEC_ELF64
isn't supported by these emulations yet, but in theory, eventually, it
should work, so i've documented it.)

document that EXEC_AOUT and EXEC_ELF{32,64} need to be specified a kernel
