That was it and perhaps this should be part of the FAQ on
'ultralinux.org'.  Once I copied '/sbin/sh' from Solaris, I could
execute it on Linux.  And, once inside of the Solaris 'sh' I can
execute Linux binaries and basic Solaris binaries like 'ls' and 'cat'.

Perhaps you mean this one?

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-sparc&m=90326076500212&w=2

Anyway, that is useful if discouraging.  It looks like Netscape won't
run after all.  I misread the FAQ there because, on re-reading it,
only the SunOS version is mentioned.

Thanks!
