Hi Fans, thank you for all your answers. I did as Russ suggested and now everything works fine. My next task will be to go through all the documents found in the wiki, but I have to admit that this is a rather painfull task for a newbie. I'm to Unix and as such I'm used to read manpages and other sources of information. But it's sometimes difficult to locate the piece of information needed to perform a certain task, especially if one doesn't know how to perform a certain task. I read some of the papers found on Plan 9s website, but it's just theory as long as one doesn't really work with/on a system.
Because of this, my idea would be to extend the information in the Wiki to some sort of "First steps with Plan 9" document. This is not only about basic information but about "best practices", too. There are several ways of performing a certain task most of the time, but it needs some experience to figure out which way is the best. When this experience is provided by long term Plan 9 users, this can give newbies an impression how to work with it. Please don't get me wrong: I'm not asking for a step by step manual describing to me everything I need to know (something like "Plan 9 for dummies"), I don't bother reading manpages and manuals, it was just an idea of how to improve things. (Somehow I feel I'm missing the point, but I hope you'll understand what I mean anyway.) I would be happy to help here, but before I need to get more into Plan 9. I'm keeping track of my progress and problems on my weblog: http://cptsalek.de Bye, Christian
