I also installed 9front in the meanwhile (python, pfff), and learned that the (broken) hostname setup can be skipped during installation, and how easy it is to set the german keyboard layout! That is really great (and it would be so easy to adjust it as necessary!) design! Acme in 9front doesn't respond to keypresses and starts hanging around; i'd have a (rather useless though) 13997 bytes screenshot of what happens on the controlling tty during this, in case noone else has seen this and the behaviour is of interest -- it's just that you place the cursor, hold down a key, and nothing visual happens, but at times something comes back and then it seems as if something has been queued somewhere, but not necessarily the key that has been pressed (in fact the screenshot shows "bad character in filename", which *definitely* not happened). But maybe it's VM related anyway, which might be true since i had to turn to VESA which is not needed for Plan9 from Bell Lapps, which also doesn't show the mentioned behaviour. |khm --steffen
