Re: [9fans] changing font size acme 9term plan 9 from user space
Hi, I'm using Plan 9 from user space on Debian Squeeze. I'd like to change the font size in both acme and 9term, but don't know how to do that. I'd appreciate a hint there please. Thanks. Alexander Kapshuk.
Re: [9fans] changing font size acme 9term plan 9 from user space
Set $font to the font you want. I use $PLAN9/fonts/fixed/unicode.6x12.font, there's plenty of other sizes, though.

[9fans] usb/disk nvram and pxeload
if i pxeload a cpu and want to be able to use an nvram partition on a usb disk (i.e. nvram=/dev/sdXX/nvram - once it is partitioned formated). it seems i also must change boot/boot.c to add the 'partfs fdisk -p prep -p' after usbd has started. is this correct?

Re-doing the port is on my todo list, but not very high at the moment. I have been trying to get a circuit simulator working on plan9 for sometime, but failed. I only realize spice2 would be a good candidate after you posted that you got it working. I have copied spice2g6 in my contrib http://plan9.bell-labs.com/sources/contrib/fernan/spice2.tgz spice2 is in fortran, I included the f2c translation incase you dont want to bother with f2c. You will still need the libf2c to compile though.

There are two alternatives.
Be wary, I am writing this by looking at the manual and from
what I remember from the code, but they should be *almost* right.
One is run
usb/usbd
mount /srv/usb /n/usb
#now you have /n/usb/sdU0.0 for example there
#here there are two alternatives, you can use partfs or fs, depending
#on your needs.
#with partfs *simpler but slower*
disk/partfs /n/usb/sdU0.0
cd /dev/sdXX
disk/fdisk -p data ctl
disk/prep -p plan9 ctl
#alternatively to partfs
#with fs
{
echo disk sdXX 512 /n/usb/sdU0.0/data
disk/fdisk -p /n/usb/sdU0.0/data
disk/prep -p /n/sdXX/plan9
} /dev/fs/ctl

When it gets this complicated I much prefer a pcfs kernel. That lets me run a full up script. I have even adapted pcfs for arm so I can have usb disk root. I can find that script but maybe this is enough to get you going. ron

On second thought, if you are only going to use it for nvram, you can cook something fast with bind slashn and aux/stub using the whole usb disk data file. -- - curiosity sKilled the cat
Re: [9fans] usb/disk nvram and pxeload
That was the approach i was taking when ... ( i only need 512 bytes after MBR, what could possibly go wrong?!) I destroyed some memorabilia on that flash. Oh well; no big loss. for some reason setting nvram='#u/usb/ep6.0/data nvroff=513 (is it 0 or 1 origin?) nvrlen=512 didn't work. i guessed it might have been the fact that usbd started usb/disk; i was getting device busy.
