Hey,
Put sysname=yourhostname in the plan9.ini file so you don't have to do
the echo every time. I was surprised it was not mentioned in the
plan9.ini (8) man page. I had to do a web search in order to find out
about it.
Enjoy,
Lee

I don't know anything about ramfs but maybe you can modify it to read
all disk from storage then write back when done? Sounds really
inefficient though. Maybe if it was done with system files it'd be
more practical. AFAIK, but a bit off topic, DamnSmallLinux can do
this. Maybe you'd like to check t

Yeah, they're compiled in. The
The only development you could possibly do is anything with C...and a
few scripting languages ported through APE.
Otherwise, your best bet is to VNC to another computer running a more
mainstream OS- but then you might as well just be running said OS.

You can copy code from Acme and "backport" it. I've done it before and
it was trivial (and it's long gone too).

Hey James,
You are brave to bring up such a subject.
Of the zillion fonts I have tried, only Droid Sans looks the best at
smaller text sizes. Of course there are bitmap fonts which are readable at
8x8 but I figured you'd want something a little more scalable and useable
across other systems. Luci

Personally, I have replaced Look with Edit because I just highlight-B3 and
it searches. Plus I use the sam command language a lot.

He is saying that some people will use mp3 compression, then convert
to WAV/PCM. Maybe some artists record directly to mp3 then convert to
have them play on audio players.

Oh wait, you just did.
My personal opinion: Plan 9 in its forked form will continue to be
used and worked for a long time. Hell, there are people still using
