tbl's calculation for how many columns it can handle is
wrong. sizeof(nregs) = nelem(nregs)*sizeof(char*).
it appears that tbl is assuming *2-byte pointers*!

It should be pointed out that the standard Plan 9 distribution
also works on atom processors. It's not the atom cpu itself,
but other details of chipset and peripheral interfaces, which
determines which kernel variant will run on a given mo

it's only a 384kbps line. ftp has some odd issue that is not
obvious from the code, but http download should work fine.

Fixed. Thanks for the reminder.

Yeah, my error was to assume I needed to make an special filesystem to boot
and install Plan 9 from a USB device... Nevermind.
Thank you for the help guys, I'm going to try David's build. Wish me luck!

i don't think so. these are the last set of ata8 docs i downloaded

Has anyone completed an APE lib sec yet?
I'm starting to roll an ape build of libsec in as it's needed for
a new Python 2.7.3+ port of Python. I'd gladly take someone else's
mkfile rework to save some time. Libsec is needed to implement a
new _hashlib module, one that doesn't require OpenSSL amo

By the way, I have just uploaded a new USB image, based
on the latest Plan 9 CD image (2013-01-03).

Hi Jeff,
Mercurial has been taken care of! I more or less track the latest stable
(stallion/mercurial). The existing Python port is sufficient for Mercurial,
though having a native Python port would be great. I've added Plan 9
support upstream in the Mercurial repository, so future builds are very
The first Python port aimed at a so-called "native" port but as I
worked on it to import a newer version of Python, it became clear that
Python's standard libraries, certainly as used by most Python
applications, are so closely bound up with POSIX interfaces (eg, the
exact components of the stat st

Hola Steven,
thanks for getting mercurial support for Plan 9 upstream,
I did the APE port of python (based on the native one) years ago
because nothing worked with the "native" one, I wanted to get X
running then it needed openssl or some socket api that wasn't
implemented in the Plan 9 emulation
