I'm currently traveling but I simply install it on all PCs I can find. If people ask me where their data is I start catclock and pretend I thought plan9 was a game.

The = character have a special meaning for the rc shell and should be escaped. Type this instead: % mk CONF'='9pcdisk -- David du Colombier

9pcdisk is the output file, not the configuration file. Also you need to quote the = because it is special to rc (assignment). Try mk 'CONF=pcdisk' On 19 July 2012 10:07, wrote: > > `mk CONF=9pcdisk`

you're using backquotes, why? that would be `{mk CONF=9pcdisk} in rc's syntax. now to compile that kernel the syntax is: % mk 'CONF=pcdisk' now are you sure you want a pcdisk? On Jul 19, 2012, at 6:07 AM, kalara...@gmail.com wrote: > I'm in /sys/src/9/pc and I type > > `mk CONF=9pcdisk` > >

I'm in /sys/src/9/pc and I type `mk CONF=9pcdisk` and rc gives me the error "rc: #d/0: token '=': syntax error". Why is this? Just doing mk works fine (I think). Thanks! Plan9 looks very cool... just finished reading through intro (all of it).
