I have seen some tips here and there about installing Plan 9 on a disk-less
computer but are there any guides? I have an eee pc 1000h and I am interested
in installing Plan 9. Whether it will be the standard installation, 9atom, or
something else is not very important. I just want to try Plan 9

IMHO Go as a system programming language would be a step forward,
but C++, obviously not... It's a beast and there are no good compact
books about it.
I asked 2 questions a couple of days ago but strangely not of them was
published!
So I'll try again but this time the topics are merged :)
1. How can I get C code highlighting to Sam or Acme?
2. Is there a client like page(1) that allows me to copy text from a
PDF file? Very useful while reading
How can I add support for C code highlighting to Sam or Acme?

I haven't developed anything for Plan 9 yet but these are my thoughts.
IMHO there's nothing wrong with using i and j as names for local variables with
a short life. If a function is as short as it normally should be, you will
generally search for functions instead of variable names. And function
read(2) reads up to N bytes but doesn't stop on newlines. Brdline(2)
looks like a good candidate for that. Are there any functions
outside Bio that behave similarly?
Hi Erik,
The output might not be 100% correct since I manually copied it. Using qemu and
still investigating how to achieve copy-pasting in the clipboard between
guest-host...
AFAIU you mean that if I mounted the drive on one rio window and tried to do
anything with it on another it won't wor
Thanks cinap, interesting. I'll retry with fat16 and see if the joke still
insists :)
OK that was silly. I noticed that instead of /n/sdU0.0 I was typing /n/sdV0.0
Those rio fonts look so alike! And lc /n/sdU0.0 is not complaining so at first
I didn't notice that this directory doesn't exist at all :)
Thanks everyone
Back after some (actually a long) idle time... :)
FTR: My host system is GNU/Linux and i found out that apart from unmounting the
usb drive I also need to execute qemu with full privileges to make the device
available. An example:
>sudo qemu -usb -usbdevice host:0e34:1025 plan9.img
Now... It s
Hmmm... I'm still missing something. If usb support is fine and usbd
is running, do I need any other commands than 'usbfat:'? The latter
gives the output 'no usb disks found'.
Thank you for guiding me to the right path guys. The problem was with qemu
which needs special settings

I removed the similar topic, sorry for posting twice but the delay was long
thus I assumed that this one never reached the group.
I found out that `ls #u' is useful since #u is the short name bound to the usb
directory. So if it works it means that usbd is up? Nevertheless the problem

It looks like I have the same problem with

"can't open /srv/usb: '/srv/usb' file does not exist", and 3) ls #u works

Some questions that came up while reading the first paper (Plan 9 from
Bell Labs):
a) It seems that the potential of namespaces can be exposed only when
using a distributed environment with multiple machines (CPU servers,
file servers, terminals, etc.). Can I get a feeling about what a
