Hi,
How to install:
My Laptop won't allow both a CD and a floppy drive. The CD controller
is somehow not recognized despite booting from the CD! It recognizes
the floppy drive despite it not being there... Anyway... I can use use the
floppy drive to boot from for the install. I need to get some feedback
regarding the order of install.
Since I can't store the image on CD and use the floppy at the same time;
Is there any advantage to using cfdisk to set the available primary
partition
for Plan 9 in advance of the floppy install?
What happens when it finds an existing Plan 9 partition?
Will/would the "partdisk" step do this "automatically" ie
prompting for the necessary partitions?
If I interrupted the install at that point (after the partitioning
but prior to loading the image)could I theoretically put/copy
the Plan9.iso image into the Plan 9 partition.. is there any benefit to
that?
Should I put the image somewhere on the HDD (a Primary Fat32, Primary
F-BSD, an log/ext linux reiserfs)and mount this at that stage in the
install?
Should I wait and see what the install will prompt for available media..
interrupt
if necessary..copy the media there) and resume the install?
Thanks
Taking it slowly and deliberatly
