Hi,

After a bit of trouble and a great deal of assistance
from Jim at bell labs (thanks!) I've finally got plan9 
installed on my laptop. (compaq aero)

The problem now is that my machine has no fpu. I understand
plan9 "requires" one but can anyone tell me just how much 
trouble I am likely to have without it.

I haven't done much of anything yet and the only problem
I've seen thus far is a funky looking clock.

My feeling is that I should really just give up on trying
to get this particular machine to enjoy running plan9.

thanks,

Reed Wade
