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. ------ forwarded message follows ------ >>From cse.psu.edu!9fans-outgoing-owner Sat Dec 9 15:29:44 EST 1995 Received: from colossus.cse.psu.edu by plan9; Sat Dec 9 15:29:44 EST 1995 Received: by colossus.cse.psu.edu id <78398>; Sat, 9 Dec 1995 15:28:02 -0500 Received: from mail.infinet.com ([198.30.154.1]) by colossus.cse.psu.edu with SMTP id <78397>; Sat, 9 Dec 1995 15:27:45 -0500 Received: from DARC by mail.infinet.com with smtp (Smail3.1.28.1 #9) id m0tOVnK-000JhbC; Sat, 9 Dec 95 15:22 EST Message-Id: Comments: Authenticated sender is From: "Luther Huffman" To: cse.psu.edu!9fans Date: Sat, 9 Dec 1995 10:26:50 -0500 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Subject: Adding pcdist to CD-ROM file system? Priority: normal X-mailer: Pegasus Mail for Windows (v2.23) Sender: cse.psu.edu!owner-9fans Precedence: bulk Reply-To: cse.psu.edu!9fans 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. --- Luther Huffman, Jr. p.s.
