Adding pcdist to CD-ROM file system?

[jim mckie jmk@plan9.att.com]

Could you elaborate on what the ATAPI problems were and how you fixed them?
It's the season's hot topic.

The safest way to install the updates is to get the source updates from
plan9.att.com and compile and install.

After a few days of reconfiguring my ATAPI CD-ROM drive, I managed to 
get the Plan 9 CD-ROM to install (at last!). Everything works fine 
except I would like to have the TRIO64 VGA drivers that were 
available on the diskettes but not present on the CD-ROM. 
   My question is, how can I *safely* install some or all of the 
files from the updated diskettes onto my brand new Plan 9 system? 
I've got a vague idea how but I'd really hate to nuke my hard-won 
file system tinkering in things I only THINK I understand.
   Any advice from someone who's been there.
