That error is very common where "ls -di" is called in the configure
script (strange that it did not complain on your other system).
a nice fix is fgb's "config" script

another common problem is "grep", where the easiest is to write

One thing to remember about descriptive identifiers is that the
compiler doesn't check whether the descriptions are accurate or
not. Often they were when the code was first written, but become
less so over time. Sometimes they were never accurate. One nice
thing about i, j, etc. is that you aren
Back when I had my FreeBSD server, I used to run a tmux session and
irssi to keep myself connected to IRC at all times. This let me
access it from any computer with an SSH client.
Now I only run a Plan 9 server, but I missed the simplicity and
convenience of having just one nickname on IRC at all

Style is style; it is not defensible on its own.
If I were contributing to smiley's projects, I would
make the code look the way the rest of his code
does. It's not that one way is necessarily better,
but one way is definitely least distracting in a given
context.

In any project, the polite thing to do is to make your code
look like the surrounding code. You have identified many
ways in which your code does not look like the surrounding
code. That's always the first step.

Hello,
As readers may remember from a previous thread, I have historically
been, well, less than enamored with some aspects of the coding style
used in Plan 9/plan9port. Now that I'm getting into development, I'd
like to know what coding conventions the Plan 9 community endorses. I
have read the

Yes, I think the ext2 is really occupying the whole device. This is in
accord with what linux has said.

It appears you have no partition table
Hello,
I have a usb flash drive.
[ When plugged into my linux, /var/log/messages gives:

Can I get away with designing something at the pub which I know is flawed
and then writing it up?
Are you sure this isn't from The Onion?

I generally learn more from what I do wrong than from what I do right---
sometimes because when "it works", it is not absolutely for the reasons
