Re: [9fans] VirtualBox and Plan9

[Preston Mays]

I've had similar problems on OS X, so I think it's a problem with  
VirtualBox, not Vista. I got past initial configuration and  
installation, but the system consistently froze when I tried to  
compile a new kernel. I switched to QEMU and haven't had any issues  
since.


Aside from switching emulators, all I can suggest is to experiment  
with different host options and disable any hardware that's not  
absolutely necessary during installation.

Has anyone else tried grabbing the latest Plan9 ISO (from the website)
and installing it via VirtualBox v2.2 ? I got only as far as:

kfs...

And the whole thing just stalled and hung at that point, so I am
hoping that someone can point me to the wrong vbox  settings that I am
using.

I am trying this from a Vista box. Please don't say go to a different
OS and try again. :-)

I don't like copying and pasting URLs. How about some more a hrefs?

Indeed it was. I don't have any issue with my mail client.

[9fans] Newsqueak command line arguments

[Preston Mays]

Hi,

Is there some way to access command line arguments with squint? The  
provided paper and squint/sq don't mention any method of passing  
options to scripts.
