   It will work pretty much out of the box.  If you are using your own
non-GENERIC kernel, you need to make sure it has COMPAT_LINUX enabled.

   The whole bunch of Linux libraries takes about 100 MB of disk space.

   Yes.  The whole 'emulation' simply consists of having Linux-compatible
system calls.  This means that there should not be any noticeable speed
difference between native and 'emulated' programs.

   If you are using NetBSD-1.6 or -current you can use the 'suse_*'
packages.  For NetBSD-1.5.x or earlier you need the 'suse64_*' versions.

   After installing these packages, make sure /emul/linux is actually
a soft link to /usr/pkg/emul/linux (or wherever you install your
packages).
