Subject: [9fans] loud newbie question: Trouble logging on as glenda

I just installed Plan9, well kinda..

The problem is that when I log on as glenda I get a
message that goes like this:

ndb/dns: can't read my ip address (not suprising since I
never set one)

i8259enable: irq 7 shared but not level

intrenable: couldn't enable irq 7, tdbf 0xFFFFFFFF for
lpt

When rio starts all that works is the clock and I see a
flash of some other type of window that dies to quickly
for me to tell what it is.

In case this helps, here is my system:

Socket 7 MB w/VIA chipset
166 Pentium w/MMX
64 meg 100mhz RAM
Fujitsu 6.4 GB HD (my instinct for some reason is to
blame this)
ATI Expert 98 video card
Soundblaster awe 32 ISA sound card
SMC ISA ethernet card (currently not on a network)
3 button serial mouse.
No printer
No modem


I've never used Plan9 before and I am used to
Linux/Solaris and help or hints would be apreciated.

Thanks.
