I revised the index.html to remove the second Errata item about the mangled UTF-8 characters, and moved the information about the tarball before the Errata header. The tarball has been updated with that, and I think I'm done for this day. -- May the LORD God bless you exceedingly abundantly! Da

I found a great source of UTF-8 expertise that showed me how to resolve the garbled UTF-8 characters: http://htmlpurifier.org/docs/enduser-utf8.html All I had to do was rename the charset=utf-8 file, 04_P9Server.html to 04_P9Server.utf8.html and most webservers configured to say their content

Hello David.

David, That's awesome... please take this as a friendly request, not a criticism. If you didn't make one single change, I REALLY appreciate the work you've put into this... and to recant the old expression: "everyone's a critic" ( http://www.thelonelyisland.com/video/everyones-a-critic). -joe O

I love the work David. Can I ask a naggy thing though... the background/forground colors make it very hard to read for very long... could you change them to "boring old" black-on-white? (or should I just make a local edit with my fuddy-duddy preferences?) Thanks again for the time and detail you'v

Hi David, A small review note: you can see the available devices in Plan9 with "cat /dev/devices" (or /dev/device or so). This might be needed in the explanation around intro(3). Kind Regards, Dante On 27.08.2014 21:16, David L. Craig wrote: This is the publication I wished I had had severa

This is the publication I wished I had had several months ago, so I decided to write it. With hundreds of screen shots and a few choice scripts (the main one based on maht's make_cpuauth contribution to Plan 9), it walks a UNIX sysadmin of modest experience through installing Debian Sid onto an x8
