i have found it convienent to be able to update a kernel
from linux, osx, windows. i would imagine this is important
for vm solutions, too. do you think it's preferable to build
a live cd for this including the little bit prepared in another
os? i've found live cds to be pretty annoying to maintain.
Can you explain the "VM solutions" point further?
The current plan 9 install CD is already a live CD. I don't imagine this
places an extra burden on whoever maintains it. Once you have a live CD
that works with your system (ie. the same one you installed with), you
don't really need to update it unless you change to a new filesystem not
supported by the CD.
