I'm running the stock 386 distribution, on a real hard drive on real hardware. I figured learning a new OS would be simpler without having to think about what's virtual versus what's real, versus what's Linux. > do you definitely have fossil and venti running? I have no idea.

As far as I know, "Venti" is a volcano in Italy. > a missing archive/main looks like you don't > have archival dumps enabled in fossil.conf? Oops, s|archive/main|main/archive| > perhaps you have snapshots enabled? I know I have "fossil". I didn't know "dump" and "snapshots" were two different things.

The man pages for Plan 9 file systems all seem rather opaque... i.e., "cached-worm file system"? > what happens if you run 9fs snap? The mount succeeds, but /n/snap is empty. > Here is an implementation of context grep, > I think its erik's code but I cannot remember. LOL. That's classic. I will try and decipher it. (To all of you,) thanks for all the help!
