Unable to install Linux packages. #7

Description

The NomadBSD Handbook states that the steps for installing Linux packages are as follows:
`# sysrc linux_enable=YES

service abi start

pkg install linux-sublime`

Unfortunately, that doesn't work for me:
`~> cat /etc/rc.conf | grep linux
linux_enable="YES"

service abi start

abi does not exist in /etc/rc.d or the local startup
directories (/usr/local/etc/rc.d), or is not executable

ls -l /etc/rc.d | grep abi

root@NomadBSD:~ #

ls -l /usr/local/etc/rc.d | grep abi

root@NomadBSD:~ #`

It has been suggested that there has been some luck with a work around, where the user installs a Linux browser first, by using the Linux Browser install GUI. I have considered this, and am interested in installing a Linux browser, however I am only interested in installing the new Microsoft Edge for Linux browser, which isn't in the list. Is there a way to install the Microsoft Edge browser by modifying the GUI script, or should the issue of being unable to install any Linux packages be tackled head-on? I am a bit unsure, but I definitely need some help on both interrelated issues...
