Trying to get the floppy image downloaded to build a plan9 box (start with
stand-alone) on a machine which doesn't boot from cd-ROM. The floppy boot
hyperlink at the bell-labs webpage downloads a 0-length file. Since I have
never seen a zero-length program which will DO anything, this must be broken.
Who can fix the site or tell me how to get past this error?
Regards,

Now fixed. Our new outside machine somehow got zero-length copies of
plan9.flp.gz and contrib.iso.bz2; I've replaced them with the versions
on our old outside machine.
