By the way - the Bash dependency seems to be relatively downstream
and might be resolved.
I have this funny effect now that I can not log in from the slim DM,
but i can log into the console started from slim (but not start an x
session)
I think this might be solvable :) (found some interesting
Hi all.
While waiting for Sta.li to be finnished, I started playing around with a
custom ubuntu build that uses plan9port as default user interface on as many
levels possible (inspired by some e-mails from Anselm that were lying around
on the web). I am basically a total layman on this and I have

Yeah... along the way I have sort of figured that stuff ARE very complex
(for example, PATH seems to be set and re-set several times during init and
login and some environment variables seem very resistant to sticking,
which probably means that there is a later event that I have yet to
identify)

I think this is a very nice distribution: tinycorelinux.com
It uses busybox and sh scripts for it's base and definitely has no
bash dependency.
There's only one bad thing that comes to my mind: it has no man pages
by default.

There is already a 9vx is already included in tiny core, so that was
not much to play with :)
I also think that the usage cases of tinycore/9vx and a
plan9port-based normal distro are different, but I might be wrong.
As I said at first, though. The whole thing is mostly for fun. It
seems like a
Why, you could add plan9port to tinycore, perhaps you could make linux
to somehow share the namespace so that it could access all those neat
9p services...
I'm currently playing around with inferno on tinycore and will
probably package it up soon. But I have no idea how /lack the skills

That's true and I didn't say you did. You said it was 'weaker' and I
said it's 'simpler' (but not *too* simple).
You certainly implied that I was arguing against simplicity,
