Plan 9 is for desktop/server = computing. The IDE drive will give you better preformance, and you can = get them far larger than 512MB... ;) =20 -Ben >>> Matthias Teege 7/24/2004 4:00:27 AM >>> Moin, I try do install Plan9 from the iso Image on a 250 MB CF Card but it looks like that the card is to small for the standard Plan9 setup. I try to build a standalone cpu/auth server without a disk but now I need a 512 MB CF Card. A 512 MB Card costs 80,--EUR which is the same as a 120 GB IDE drive. Is there any way to shrink Plan9 to 250 MB or should I bye two big disks and build a cpu/auth/filserver. ;-) Many thanks Matthias
