i think we all agree that it'd be great
if plan 9 were easier to install, and if
the vga support were better.

we're not disagreeing with you, but writing an os
installation program is difficult and time-consuming.
i spent last may doing almost nothing else.
given another month of work, i bet an even better
one could be written, one that handles cpu servers
and file servers and so on.  but i haven't had time, and
apparently neither has anyone else, inside bell labs
or out.

if you're going to do something about it,
great.  if not, then we're not much better off
than we were before you complained.
