I am having some fun, but I have some ery basic questions that are
prolly documented somewhere. Feel free to point me at em. I am hoping
to put together some newbie HOWTOs or something.
Please do; see http://plan9.bell-labs.com/wiki/plan9
Why don't ether packets show in the sysload graph or do they mostly,
just not here. Is it possible to have that graph on my desktop and if
so, how?
Why doesn't <ctl> d work all the time? I always have to delete a ping
and some others in a rc.
Nigel answered this briefly; if the program is reading standard
input then ctl-d marks end-of-file. Programs that don't prompt
for input don't care about ctl-d. On the other hand, delete is like
ctl-c in Windows/Linux. It sends an interrupt to the program.
Is there some tests for my keyboard and mouse to make sure they work
corectly? (I suspect that is why acme doesn't work properly.)
What's there to test? What's not working properly?
We have occasional mouse problems; keyboard problems
are not as common.
How does everyone else partition the drive and why?
I partition the drive the way disk/fdisk -a suggests:
you need a little space for the 9fat boot partition, perhaps
some space for swap, and the rest can go to the file system.
