Subject: [9fans] Newbie Alert - Building on an OLD machine
Date: Sat,  8 Mar 2008 12:13:44 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200803081213.44393.skyhawk54@comcast.net> (raw)

All - 

Trying to get the floppy image downloaded to build a plan9 box (start with 
stand-alone) on a machine which doesn't boot from cd-ROM. The floppy boot 
hyperlink at the bell-labs webpage downloads a 0-length file.  Since I have 
never seen a zero-length program which will DO anything, this must be broken. 
Who can fix the site or tell me how to get past this error?

Regards,
-- Mark
