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.
