In the liveCD system, rio has normal drop down rectangular menus, while using option 1 starts a rio whose menus are like pie slice graphic charts with every menu option in a pie. I think the reason behind it is ergonomics, since the mouse is in the center of the circle and only a minor move in the right direction will hilight the correct menu entry. I just recibed a mail telling me these are menus from and old iso image, so I think what is happening is that the vesa enabled iso image is old compared to the current standard iso since I am using the former. Well, in tha case I can only hope vesa becomes part of the standard iso soon :) >> %fossil/fossil -f /dev/sdC0/fossil >check where is your fossil partition >% ls /dev/sd*/fossil I did that, my installed fossil went to /dev/sdC0/fossil, I seem to remember the installer tells it in an auxiliar console while performing install operations. I even removed the CD just to be sure I could still browse sdC0 without it, besides, only 386 from the arch especific folders was there. In my system, the CD showed in sdC1 and when I try to boot from hard drive the message right before stopping tells sdC0 as well. > open a new window > % cat file > edit whatevet you want, snarf the hole thing > % cat > file paste the buf and Yes. I can do that, but I was just curious on why I could not start fossil on /dev/sdC0/fossil using the liveCD demo but could start it and get the need /srv/fossil using the install system. Any ideas? I am new to plan 9, but for what I've read, all I needed was the command: fossil/fossil -f /dev/sdC0. Is it a problem with the liveCD option or a bad procedure of mine?
