While looking for a way to exchange files between a linux system and an hosted virtual machine running plan9 I found vx32 and 9vx. I couldn't master to compile it under a 64 bit Linux cause libX11 was missing as a compatible 32 bit library so I installed a 32 bit linux and everthing compiled without problems. I started 9legacy with 9vx -r -u glenda "memsize=1536" everything went fine and this is amazingly fast. I can exchange files between host and guest. Now my questions : a) When I typed fshalt I got an error that I don't have permissions to call /bin/echo. It seems like echo from the host system was called instead of echo from 9legacy. Is this a bug or did I forget something ? b) How does the installation procedure work ? Usually during the installation of a distro lets say 9front I would have to partition a harddisk where the necessary things are installed. c) I'm a bit confused about the licensing of 9vx and vx32. vx32 is LGPL and 9vx is/was licenced with the Lucent license while 9vx uses vx32 or am I wrong ? Thanks in advance and 9vx is really an amazing tool. ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/Tf651d537d5dbd117-M67a20cd6deb2da053b42096a Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
