[9fans] /sys/lib/pcdist/README

[Russ Cox]

Rob's mail of earlier today mentioned
/sys/lib/pcdist/README, which I seem
to have misplaced.

The important points were:

	- /sys/lib/pcdist contains source for standalone boot disks
	- mk install in /sys/lib/pcdist/cmd and its subdirectories
	  before trying to make pcflop
	- mk 'CONF=pcflop' 9pcflop.gz in /sys/src/9/pc
	  before trying to make a disk
	- mk disk in /sys/lib/pcdist/disk to make a disk image
	- you'll want to edit /sys/lib/pcdist/disk/plan9.ini
	  to suit whatever you're doing.
	- bug reports to 9trouble

Have fun!

[9fans] drawterm etc.

[Matt]

he he I'm beginning to feel stupid now I can't get stuff working

so 2 things

1. I am not stupid (AFAIK)
2. I can't get drawterm to connect

donk Jul 30 13:39:11 giving up on tcp17013!*!: announce opening
/net/tcp17013/clone: file does not exist


and it's true
/net/tcp17013 does not exist but you knew that

the binary of couse sits in /bin/service

that surely can't be wrong so i know for sure it's my setup


hurry up and write that book and I'll stop asking

oops must be my mistake

trying to be too clever

it could be 9/port/proc.c calling resrcwait("no procs");


first glance i didn't see that they were in different files

I was using the LXR source browser

> netstat -n is your friend.
yes it sure was

I was running aux/listen rather than aux/listen tcp so my box was only
listening on il rather than tcp

good. step 1 complete

when I atatch drawterm to the machine I get

fs/port/proc.c calling panic("no procs");

all over my nice clean plan9 desktop.

bah now I still have to keep swapping keyboards and a trackball on my knee

if you can't help me, at least send me a bigger desk

yes it looks like i did

the log now says it's started but .....


drawterm doesn't connect iprint message :

Can't dial tcp!195.182.167.7!17013: connect 195.182.167.7!17013 failed: No
error


Drawterm then crashes with a runtime error
(putting an Abnormal Termination dialog up)

Doing a portscan on donk gets no response from any of the services in
bin/service :

tcp110
tcp13
tcp143
tcp17007
tcp17009
tcp17013
tcp19
tcp21
tcp23
tcp25
tcp513
tcp53
tcp565
tcp567
tcp7
tcp9

So the box is accepting no outside requests for ports
it does answer pings though



it is a stand alone machine doing cpu, auth and kfs

still at least I'm learning

I've not had much time to play today as I'm writing an e-commerce web site
with my other hand

good to see your sunday's aren't wasted

It sounds like you typed "aux/listen tcp17013"
rather than just "aux/listen tcp".
