OK, on sources I have this: cpu% pwd /n/sources/xen/xen3/ronslaptop cpu% ls -l --rw-r--r-- M 65 rminnich xen 1844108 May 11 22:18 9xenpccpuf --rw-r--r-- M 65 rminnich xen 76945 May 11 22:16 etcxen.tgz cpu% I dropped my current kernel on there just for reference. The xen scripts were hacked on by Aki and me so that, when you do xm create -c plan9test you see this nice stuff appear in /etc/hosts and /etc/dhcpd.conf: 10.0.1.1 plan9 host plan9 { hardware ethernet 00:16:3e:4a:2d:78; fixed-address 10.0.1.1; option routers 10.0.1.128; option host-name "plan9"; option domain-name-servers 192.168.0.1;} This is useful because the way xen works, it gives you a different veth every time, so you can't easily stick with a fixed IP/MAC. BTW Aki and I talked today and we've given up on fbdev -- THX is going to include X11. Such is life. The fbdev stuff is nowhere close to solid enough to depend on. Opera has kindly agreed to let us distribute opera on the THX, but -- there's a legal agreement I have to sign. Yuck. I am afraid to sign it. Somebody pointed out at the BAP9UG meeting that I should just bundle inferno (and hence Charon) onto THX instead. So, that is what we will do. ron
