aram, by a complete, installable system for plan9port, i meant a
distribution running the linux kernel, bionic, plan9port, minimal xorg.
that distribution would be bootable off a usb disk and can be installed
to your harddisk like any generic gnu/linux distribution.
it is meant for use by those who want a pure plan9port based system and
nothing more, initially. later, as demand mandates, i'll add in
software.

think before you write your emails, you might end up sounding stupid
otherwise.

Re: [9fans] plan 9 : any pager?

2018-10-03 Thread Chris McGee
I like how the pager (page) actually shows a page on the screen with the
text you pipe to it. There's some real truth in the name.
