[9fans] inferno on '2000

[Boyd Roberts]

this may have not made the list via news as
my cable provider have an interesting idea
of how to build networks:

just got it installed.  seems to be fine except the
install instructions are wrong.  it's been a very
rare month, so i took no notes; they can be re-constucted.

now i can write some limbo.  this _may_ cause some trouble...

this may not be the right forum, but it's pretty close.

	echo subscribe inferno | mail majordomo@research.suspicious.org

supicious, huh?  what do they say about executing commands on the
behalf of 3rd parties?

btw: this message arrived just after i'd discovered some form
     of identity theft.  this person has made a big mistake.
     and so have the people who run this web site.

since we're on the topic of inferno and win2000, here's my constructive
criticism:

emu chokes with 'cannot mount root from /users/inferno' (or something
like that) if the distribution is not installed in C:\users\inferno on a
win2000 machine.

since it's monday and i don't feel like trying to find *why* it choked,
i simply deleted and reinstalled again in the default directory...

ps: i know this is not the inferno mailing list, but... :)

pps: i'd be interested in stats on how many people have downloaded
inferno, bought inferno and so on. could vitanuova release something
like that? (i mean, if the numbers are positive of course :)

you need to set your command line args for the default DIR

the installer creates the shortcut thus :

E:\Inferno\Nt\386\bin\emu.exe -g800x600 "-re:\Inferno"

did that to me to so i used

    -rC:\inferno

as well as:

    -g1024x768

but the later is for the display.

i couldn't see the point of didn't placing it to far down the tree (i 'backup'
my lapdog onto cd.  this is virtually impossible on windows with the
horrible adaptec cd burning s/w and the way '2000 is always touching
files and losing memory behind you back).

there are problems with the install doc, so i just figured it out -- best
way to learn how it works.

i got the full distribution as a 'thank you' for the core DES code i wrote
and gave away ages ago -- it turned up in vita's inferno after i'd re-ok'd it
IIRC.
