[9fans] the make .ISO file under plan9

Hello, 9fans,



Could anyone tell me how to make the whole plan9 system into an .iso file?

Bell labs will not make plan9's iso file. And they encourage 9fans
replica/pull to

Update the plan9's source.



So, it is problem for me to make one fresh plan9 .iso file under plan9
system.



Cheers,



Anthony Lee

You can fetch a fresh ISO file from

	http://plan9.bell-labs.com/plan9dist/ureg.html

Look for the link named "Sources Snapshot" for a file
plan9-new.iso.bz2.  This file can be used to update
your Plan 9 system or to install a fresh up-to-date
system.  The file is generated nightly from the
sources data.  To update your system you'd download
the file, uncompress it, mount it, and then use the
replica tools:

	9660srv
	bunzip2 < plan9-new.iso.bz2 > plan9-new.iso
	mount /srv/9660 /n/dist plan9-new.iso
	disk/kfscmd allow
	replica/pull -v /dist/replica/cd
	disk/kfscmd disallow

If you wrote it to a real CD first, the mount sequence
would look like:

	9660srv
	mount /srv/9660 /n/dist /dev/sdD0/data

assuming the CD drive was /dev/sdD0/data.

If you want to build your own ISO images you can
look at /sys/lib/dist/mkfile, but the process will
need some editing to make it work on machines
outside Bell Labs.
