Re: [9fans] Plan9 Installation Question!

I suggest installing Windows, then
Linux, then Plan 9.

In particular, that gives Windows the
chance to set the implicit C/H/S numbers
it wants to use in the fdisk partition table,
and Linux and Plan 9 will follow its lead.
Plan 9 also knows how to customize the
Windows boot menu to list Plan 9.

[9fans] Plan9 Installation Question!

[jsh0ck]

Hello netizens!

I knew of Plan9 a few years back but never had the time to
check it out; today I decided to load up my Lynx browser and
download this baby!  So as I write this message I am currently
d/l Plan9 on to my system.  First of all I would like to state
that I am currently dual booting my system with Linux and Windoze.
I have about 8 gigs of memory on my hd.  I am planning on adding
Plan9 to the family of OS's already on my system.

Can someone suggest the best way to go about doing this?
I figured I was just going to use FIPS and repartition my
Windoze partition and make room for Plan9.  I thought that
would be the easiest way to go; then I also though about
formatting my whole computer and starting from there.

First I'll install windoze, then linux, then plan9..

Is this the best way of installing plan9 on my system with
windoze and linux?? If you have any suggestions on how I
would go about installing plan9 on my system w/ windoze
and linux then please respond a.s.a.p.!

thanx a lot and have a great day!
