That was my first effort (though it suffered similar issue: must acclimate to
acme before you can configure your new installation) - however, when I
tried to traverse /n/9fat/plan9.ini, acme complained that there was no
such file; so, being completely new to plan 9, my progress at that point
came to a complete standstill.

Thanks - I'll try this.


Another quick question:

Just to be safe, I would like to copy the org plan9.ini before I try to modify
it; so if I hose it, I can move it back; how would I do this?


Cheers
