Plan 9 4th edition is not expected to boot on x86...
I can pxe boot it on my HP 8300 elite (core i5).

I honestly don't know the purpose of this window, but it displays the time/date and shows the Glenda character. That bothered me because to me, I wanted to demonstrate/experience the real Plan 9.

If you have subscribed for 9fans emails and connect to gmail's imap
server, you will see the faces of everyone here (except me).

9front might have modified the installer

> I now have 9 Legacy images, and I'm going to give them a go as I THINK these are now the "vanilla" Plan 9 post Vita-Nuova ownership. Is that correct? Is it safe to assume 9-Legacy essentially replaces what I assume are the 4th edition Plan 9 images?

Vita Nuova owns Inferno
Just use 9legacy, it is stable.
There is another iso image which contain Geoff's tree - perhaps less
stable, moving faster, does not include git and all the bug fixes, and
have refused changes to be usable in openbsd vmm.

Also - for the more experienced, how to get rid of the doasm notfound
and unbalanced PUSH/POP errors when the list of opcodes changes?  Even
compiling 6[acl] on another architecture does not work for me now.
