As for internet using ethernet,
1) Find out what type of Ethernet card you have
2) Look at plan9.ini(8) to see how to change plan9.ini to do so.
% man -P plan9.ini
Use the arrow keys to go through pages and q to quit.
3) Type:
% 9fat:
% cd /n/9fat
% acme plan9.ini
4) Add the necessary line to the end of the file
5) Hold down Shift and right-click the word Put at the top. Do the
same with Exit. This saves and quits.
6) Type
% cd
% cd lib/
% acme profile
7) At the top, add the lines
ndb/dns -r
ip/ipconfig
Save and quit as above.
8) Type
% fshalt -r
This will reboot your system safely, and when you get back up you
should have your Internet configured.
Other places for tutorials:
- the Plan 9 wiki (http://plan9.bell-labs.com/wiki/plan9/)
- type:
% cd /sys/doc
% lc
Find a document you might like to read, and then
% page <documentname>.ps
For example,
- lp.ps Describes how to use the printer
- rc.ps Describes how to use rc, the Plan 9 shell
- comp.ps Describes how to use the Plan 9 compilers
- troff.ps Describes how to use troff, the text formatter
- ape.ps Describes how to port alien software to Plan 9 using APE
- type
man -P 1 <programname>
to see info on a program
To compile C programs, it depends on how you wrote them:
- Compiling programs written exclusively for Plan 9 in the Plan 9
system:
8c file.c
8l -o programname file.8
- Compiling ANSI C/POSIX programs:
pcc -o programname file.c
