It was for Release 3. :-) I installed Release 4 just before, and saw a quite different format for nvidia chip. Sorry about that. Anyway, very nice installation procedure of the new system. I installed it to a Pen 133MHz and 6.05GB local disk. Good guidance to partioning disks etc. Thanks to all Plan 9 team. Who dit it?

The hardware requirements page says there is good support only for savage4 an riva TNT2. Also in the same page there is a note that GeForce in not supported but in this list some report that it worked fine on GeForce2 MX. Can someone give a definite answer? Thanks Spyros --upas-ddvtdwuxmgttutajexzswvaocd-- --upas-zpqxbywygwpabqnmdowhyidvyc--
