Quoting ``Installing the Plan9 Distribution'':
You need an x86-based PC with 32MB of RAM, a supported video card, and a
hard disk with at least 300MB of unpartitionned space and a free primary
partition slot.
Yes, this is from the printed edition of Plan9 Programmer's Manual, 3rd
Edition.
But I don't see why "caveats" will hurt a new comer, who is probably
not devoting an entire new disk to a system he doesn't know yet and
wants to try, but making Plan9 some place on a disk populated with other
data.
And giving a hint about the archival features will not hurt either.
