Hi Mr Forsyth,
I tried to respond to your directly, but the mail bounced.
Here in Saudi Arabia tinyurl is blocked (by the govt). Is it possible
that you (or someone else) can expand the URL for me and send it to me
off-list?
Thanks

Plan 9 has always run on multiple architectures,
and the fourth edition is no different. ls /sys/src/9
will show you that there are ports to the Alpha PC (alphapc)
the HP iPaq (bitsy), and
For me the URL works out to:
http://domino.research.ibm.com/comm/research_projects.nsf/pages/hare.index.html
HARE! Awesome.

Ah, right. I'd started out using p9p's 'web', but
decided having access to 'open' might be useful
in other contexts, even if i'm not plumbing
anything to it right now.
Project for today is sort of the inverse: how to
make OS X use Acme-sac or B for text files.
Anyone looked at it?

You could always import /net from a 9grid node in a (more) free

I have a means to circumvent the filters, but not at my current location.
Thankfully 9p flows as poorly as all the other protocols here in KSA,
but it still flows. I wonder sometimes if I am the only plan 9 user in
"The Kingdom"... Where most folks are accustomed to "five nines" of
availability, th

Not at all. Just meant that one doesn't run their company's Oracle database on
it.
Not because it's not worthy of doing so, but such things just aren't compiled
for it.

Thanks for reply.
putting kbmap=uk into plan9.ini
gives a message
boot: can't open kbd map: 'uk' file does not exist.
So I triedkbmap=/sys/lib//kbmap/uk in plan9.ini This didn't work
either. I got the message

How do you remove a file with corrupted meta data?
I was in 9vx and trying to recompile a kernel so
I could get a boot file with the local method
and it locked. After I killed 9vx and started it
up again, I can't mk because main.8 has corrupted
meta data. check in fossilcons reports it, but

9fat:
cp /sys/lib/kbmap/uk /n/9fat
try again with kbmap=uk and reboot.

I think you need to add the map to the kernel, as a root file so that
boot could find it before reaching the file server.

Has anyone gotten Nt to read/write from Venti on a Plan 9 or Linux system?
I figure one could set up something with SAMBA, but there's no native 9p for
Nt, right?

I now have a more-or-less unused MacBook. I'm
considering spending some time trying to get Plan 9
working on it. Has anyone gotten beyond confirming
that it won't work out of the box?
Anthony
The ISO I got that was supposed to work natively on an iMac had:
- keyboard error messages (but I think it worked)
- no working mouse
- inverse video
But good luck on a MacBook!

This was an intel or ppc iMac? Did you make (if so,
how) or acquire (if so, from where) this ISO?
Getting that far would be much better than the
current stock ISO, which gets to the ELCR print.
Anthony
Intel - there is no prebuilt PPC binary. That ELCR point is what made
me get QEMU in the first place. You can find the ISO somewhere in /n/
sources/contrib. du and you can't miss it; it was made by someone else
on the list.

Plan 9's aquarela(8), see the example for reading the dump. Cifs
clients can write to the intervening venti-backed Plan 9 file
Perhaps related: fossilcons(8), talking about stat, says:
The bits denoted by capital letters are included to support
non-Plan 9 systems. They are not made visible by the 9P
protocol.
Has anything ever been done with this, or is this support still
theoretical?

There is native 9p for Nt.
