Greets all. I'll cut straight to the chase for those who don't like
reading long posts, else please bare with me and read this entire post
so you can offer an opinion.
I would like to erect a site that aims to show Plan9 in a more user/
desktop direction for those who share the enthusiast/niche
How do you mean? Should I boot from Lucho's thumb image or via usb
cdrom?
Since you quoted my first paragraph regarding Lucho's image, I booted
from it. I don't have an lscpi, so I ran pciconf (FreeBSD) and I ran
pci from the plan 9 bootup.
pciconf output here:
www.queuevonqu.com/pciconf.html
the attensec l1c is not supported. very sorry about that.
i don't have any attensec/atheros hardware.

i converted your bsd pci output to something i could
get a handle on:
; pci `{hget http://www.queuevonqu.com/pciconf.html | htmlfmt | awk '{print
$4}' | sed 's;chip=0x()();\2/\1;g' }

I think a lot of this info is on the Wiki already--USB disks, faces,
adding users, changing the background (come on, read the man page).
We've also had various newbies come in and promise to create a great,
simple site for users, but it never goes anywhere. I'd suggest looking
more closely at the

Thanks, after I provided the service name, ip/pppoe asked for username
and password. However I still didnt have Internet access. I tried
ipconf/outside but it times out. Here is the complete output of

I'm not overly concerned about the network card, so no worries.
As far as the bootup, which do you want to see, from Lucho's image or
from usb-cdrom?
Also, the usb stick is big enough to put the actual cd .iso file onto
if that will allow me to install the distribution itself that way.
Well, i'll look more closely at the wiki, but I'm dead serious about
putting up a site. You forget; I already own a domain and server
space.
$10 and about a half an hour in my WYSIWYG editor and i've got a site
up.
Yes and I am a newbie, and no, i've read alot of over my head stuff
but nothing
Well, the problem is that by putting everything out on your own
website, it's more of a trek to get there from the Wiki, which should
basically be the first point for any Plan 9 questions. When one person
controls the site, there's a bottleneck making it more difficult for
other people to

I think a good idea, especially early on, for any such newbie site
would be a method to submit questions. Not quite a FAQ, I mean, but
a list of things to cover, and anyone can answer as desires, or they
can be posited to this list directly for
it looks like in pppoe.c the block

return bad(no matching service name);

$10 and about a half an hour in my WYSIWYG editor and i've got a site

If you believe in Plan9, why not make the site using plan9?
If you can't eat the dogfood, why try to sell it to others?

I've just had someone here try to install reFit on her Mac. She got it
done in spite of the wikis. There's so much wrong info out on the web
now in the form of wikis that it was all virtually useless. I become
more disappointed in wikis as the years go by.

Given that Google has a critical mass of Plan 9 people working away, and doing
great things in my humble opinion, one wonders, what kind of environment are
you running? What does the people who created Plan 9 use day to day?
Thanks

I think mostly Macs with p9p.

Thanks for this info Russ.
Can you briefly tell us why you (Russ, Rob, Ken and Dave) no longer use
Plan9 ?
Because of missing apps or because of missing driver for your hardware ?
And do you still use venti ?
