Hi
I'm new to p9 and before installing on real hardware I want to try it in qemu.
Hello and welcome on board!
I'll suggest that you better use the preloaded image of plan 9
avaliable on oszoo.org ... Installing Plan 9 on qemu can be very slow
because of the lack of DMA transfers.
I have some questions about p9:
1.
When installing from local media (CD) the CD gets mounted by the installer with
"mount /srv/9660 /n/distmedia /dev/sdD0/data" so why I have to enter "/" at the
prompt
"Location of archives [browse]:" and not "/n/distmedia" where the CD is
mounted? What is correct?
Looks like "/" ist working, but it is correct?
/dev/sdD0/data is probably correct (If your cd is sdD0, it is correct)
/ is correct
2.
Updating the installed p9 with new daily ISO burned on CD does not work as
described in the wiki
http://cm.bell-labs.com/wiki/plan9/Staying_up_to_date/index.html
I get an error that /dist/replica/cd can not be found. Tested on real hardware,
too (same error)
Must I login with another user as glenda or is updating from CD broken?
I don't know... I suggest ip/ipconfig && ndb/dns -r && pull (I am
supposing you have avaliable networking capabilities)
3.
How can I change the font of the terminal window and all the other (sysload
viewer) ... permanently to that of acme or others?
In /usr/$user/lib/profile you can do so... But I think that some apps
require extra settings, like acme (-F option, then dump ;) )
Cheers!
