My Plan 9 training is temporarily suspended while I learn to use QEMU.
That's funny because I suspended my Slackware training to learn to use Plan

Now I might suspend my QEMU training to try out some other virtualizers.
Also, I got a FreeDOS image to use for my QEMU training, so I may wander o

fgb is also the name of the directory containing his system, which is what I

$home/lib/profile is run on login; you can stick arbitrary commands in
there. note rio's -i option. take a look at glenda's lib/profile and
bin/rc/riostart for examples.

Juke is really old and kind of painful to use. Easier to just use
mp3dec on the command line, but if you must use juke I have some

easier to deal with.

I'm also planning to look into Inferno and the /9/grid.
Now, in Plan 9/QEMU/Ubuntu, I need to learn how to access my shared fat
partition, and how to copy and paste between the QEMU window and my other
Ubuntu windows.
I've done as much as I can and want to do from the documentation for now.
Now I'm working on some of the responses to my posts here.

The special case is here that he runs qemu. And the good news is: In
qemu you are always in the same simulated network by default. Which is:
your IP: 10.0.2.15
gateway: 10.0.2.2
dns: 10.0.2.3
hardcode these and you should be fine. (if you want to connect to the
qemu machine: fiddle around wi

cat /net/ipselftab and /net/iproute to see what address is assigned by
ipconfig. also, start ndb/cs.
the order is sometimes important, so i always do:
ndb/cs
ip/ipconfig
ndb/dns -r # see man page for that argument
cheers!

9vx isn't working out very well for me so far. I'm trying to practice

IMO, this is a bug. The Shift+Button3 = Button2 behaviour is

the plan 9 ide driver will use pio unless you tell it to do otherwise.
