Hi,
  I want to share a success story of loading the fourth edition.

The machine used is: P-4 1.5GHz, Intel's GB850 motherboard with 256MB
of memory, Maxtor 34098H4 in primary IDE master (40GB), FX4830T cdrom
on secondary IDE master, a floppy, PS/2 mouse and ATI 3D Rage Pro 215GP
in a PCI slot.

I created a cmrom with plan9.iso.bz2 in its root and booted into
800x600x8 graphics just to be safe. Everything was going smoothly
intil the install process started bunzip'ing the distribution. It
appears that kfs did not exit after writing unpacked file. So, I
manully moved /n/kfs/dist/_plan9.iso to /n/kfs/dist/plan9.iso and
killed mountdist from another window. After a few prods, the install
process continued and everything went fine. [BTW, during the
installation the system ran like a dog, but after rebooting into the
installed plan9 responsivess improved consideably.]

Overall impression: Great job, guys!
