Subject: [9fans] plan9 laptop

Hi.

I shall buy a laptop soon and I'd like to run plan9 on it with support for the
graphics card, mouse, modem, ethernet card and sound card -- in that order of
preference. I'm assuming that the cpu, memory, keyboard, etc. are likely to
be compatible ;)

I have not had success with the modems or the sound cards in any of the
computers I have used for plan9 so far. That is, I am not confident that I
could make these work on a laptop for which this is possible. Therefore, I
may not recognize a compatible laptop when I see one ;)

Is there a kernel configuration and a collection of shell scripts that I could
try on a prospective laptop to test for compatibility?

Many thanks,

Nick
