Hi all.
While waiting for Sta.li to be finnished, I started playing around with a
custom ubuntu build that uses plan9port as default user interface on as many
levels possible (inspired by some e-mails from Anselm that were lying around
on the web). I am basically a total layman on this and I have

Yeah... along the way I have sort of figured that stuff ARE very complex
(for example, PATH seems to be set and re-set several times during init and
login and some environment variables seem very resistant to "sticking",
which probably means that there is a later event that I have yet to
identify)

I have not been able to get wm/irc to work under acme-sac. Is there

As I see now the snarf issue has been fixed one day after this discussion.
The inferno host-window is not resizable yet as in i.e. 9vx or
acme-sac, so it's still difficult for me to use it.

I think this is a very nice distribution: tinycorelinux.com
It uses busybox and sh scripts for it's base and definitely has no
bash dependency.
There's only one bad thing that comes to my mind: it has no man pages
by default.

There is already a 9vx is already included in tiny core, so that was
not much to play with :)
I also think that the usage cases of tinycore/9vx and a
plan9port-based "normal" distro are different, but I might be wrong.
As I said at first, though. The whole thing is mostly for fun. It
seems like a
Why, you could add plan9port to tinycore, perhaps you could make linux
to somehow share the namespace so that it could access all those neat
9p services...
I'm currently playing around with inferno on tinycore and will
probably package it up soon. But I have no idea how /lack the skills
to integra

That's true and I didn't say you did. You said it was 'weaker' and I

Darn, I hoped no one would notice my mistake until I got back to a computer
with internet access. I'll fix it tomorrow; I have a big patch ready.
As for the spaceitem warning, just update your config.h by removing it -
it's not in config.def.h.

Thanks,
