Huh? ... the same way webfs does? 9p and namespaces is exactly what allows me to transparently access the cpu/auth/file server from my thin client from which to springboard my operating environment from any location, and how I'm able to the processor on the cpu server, and how I'm able to arrange multiple discrete environments from ad-hoc resources. That shit's intrinsic and seamless to the plan 9 experience; I don't understand how it's not immediately obvious how 9p and namespaces tie in and fit into the whole idea. Right? I hope I'm not still missing The Point, 'cuz that would be really embarrassing by this juncture. :) > Show us some code fragments.

I don't mind responding as long as people are directing comments and questions at me though; should I announce that I hereby extract myself from any further discussion? I don't mind doing that either, if it means reducing annoyance levels from the list members. I don't want make a continued annoyance of myself; it's true that I've got plenty to cognate and work on. Thankyou
