Re: [9front] First time 9front start with qemu

[hiro <23hiro@gmail.com>]

what is your reason to oppose drawterm for graphics? it is so much
better integrated and support fancy stuff like copy&paste, window
resize, proper mouse and keyboard support.

 i highly recommend it. in a virtualised environment i see no reason
to use anything but drawterm (apart from some initial bootstrapping
stuff that people might be more used to doing in a graphical
environment).
