2008-12-25 Thread Anthony Sorace
Mostly off-topic, but the newly released linux 2.6.28 talks about the "Nokia phonet protocol". Google "helpfully" returns all sorts of things with "phone" in it as a match to "phonet", making it a bit hard to find more detailed protocol documentation.

depends what you mean by "extra". if that means "outside 9vx", then yes; if it means "besides what 9vx uses by default", no. yesterday(1) relies on having dump-style snapshots. 9vx, as shipped, gets its root file system from #Z, which doesn't have snapshots. erik offered some suggestions for host
