Re: [9fans] dual boot

I downloaded the usbinstamd64 image from the 9atom webpage and booted it up. First, I tried amd64 (selection 0), in a second or so, some text went past the screen quickly and the machine rebooted. I then tried selection 1 (386pae), that booted up but quickly halted with this: Plan 9 E820: ...

[9fans] OT - ATTN: Steve Stallion

Hi 9fans, This is more a poke for both Steve and I, concerning some work I have for him. I am moving to a city 500km away from where I am now, and he is travelling, and likely my offer of work could get lost in the cracks. Just so the email doesn't get lost in the cracks, I thought a poke here mig

Ok, My take on VCS/SCM and fossil+venti you can copy the repository to a working copy with - dircp. you can tag a release with - dircp (don't forget, copying a directory set is very nearly free in terms of disk space). adding a log message is "cat >> ChangeLog" the only bit missing is the abil
