IMHO, you need not switch between your Plan 9 installation under QEMU and 9vx; Just stick to a real Plan 9 under QEMU and this I hope will help you better learn, experiment and, or try procedures described on the wiki and other docs. I don't who and why one referred you to try 9vx, an abridged version which is far away from a real or native installation of a Plan 9 under QEMU, KVM, XEN and, or VMWare. Many a things e.g. page, gs, mail do not work out of the box as expected under 9vx as yet. -- Balwinder S "bdheeman" Dheeman Registered Linux User: #229709 Anu'z li...@home (Unix Shoppe) Machines: #168573, 170593, 259192 Chandigarh, UT, 160062, India Plan9, T2, Arch/Debian/FreeBSD/XP Home: http://cto.homelinux.net/~bsd/ Visit: http://counter.li.org/
