Hello, 9fans,
Could anyone tell me how to make the whole plan9 system into an .iso file?
Bell labs will not make plan9's iso file. And they encourage 9fans
replica/pull to
Update the plan9's source.
So, it is problem for me to make one fresh plan9 .iso file under plan9
system.
Cheers,
Anthony Lee

You can fetch a fresh ISO file from
http://plan9.bell-labs.com/plan9dist/ureg.html
Look for the link named "Sources Snapshot" for a file
plan9-new.iso.bz2. This file can be used to update
your Plan 9 system or to install a fresh up-to-date
system. The file is generated nightly from the
sources data. To update your system you'd download
the file, uncompress it, mount it, and then use the
replica tools:
9660srv
bunzip2 < plan9-new.iso.bz2 > plan9-new.iso
mount /srv/9660 /n/dist plan9-new.iso
disk/kfscmd allow
replica/pull -v /dist/replica/cd
disk/kfscmd disallow
If you wrote it to a real CD first, the mount sequence
would look like:
9660srv
mount /srv/9660 /n/dist /dev/sdD0/data
assuming the CD drive was /dev/sdD0/data.
If you want to build your own ISO images you can
look at /sys/lib/dist/mkfile, but the process will
need some editing to make it work on machines
outside Bell Labs.
