	After several hours I was able to get the CD-ROM distribution
	of Plan9 installed on my 486/66. I have two questions now
	concerning running this PC as a standalone Plan9 machine.


	1) The documentation refers to the CD-ROM or floppy installations
	   on a PC as a "complete" Plan9 system. My confusion comes
	   from the part of the documentation that asks me not to install
	   a password on my personal account, as the Authentication Server
	   has not been set up yet. Must I set my Plan9 installation up
	   to be all three? (file server, cpu server, authentication server)?

	2) The CD-ROM installation is missing the /usr/none directory as
	   pointed out in the documentation. The document proceeds to
	   instructs the user on how to fix the problem by creating the
	   /usr/none directory and then copying in the files. This procedure
	   fails with "permission denied" if I try to create the /usr/none
	   directory, while logged in as "tor". Do I need to execute
	   "disk/kfscmd allow" first? or should I just add the "none"
	   account the same way I added my own account?



	Sorry for the newbie questions but I have to start somewhere. :-)
