Hi,

I've just installed the 0327 release of Plan9.

I've done a wrap/inst of the updates and I was wondering:

What is the set of mk commands that I need to invoke to update the systems and produce new kernels and a new floppy?

Thanks

You should probably only rebuild the commands
that are marked as having changed.  In general
you 
	cd /sys/src/cmd/directory
	mk install
	mk clean

To build the terminal disk kernel,
	cd /sys/src/9/pc
	mk 'CONF=pcdisk' install
and then to boot from it
	9fat:
	cp 9pcdisk /n/9fat

You shouldn't need a new boot floppy.
To build a new installation floppy, you 
	cd /sys/lib/pcdist/disk
	mk
