OK, I read the FAQ yesterday, and there was writte= n, that GUI-programming
should be possible, but is not enforced. IS OK f= or me, if I can
put together all that basic graphics-stuff in my own man= ner.

OpenGL would be fine... :)

OK. Yesterday I treied the boot f= rom a machine that is not mine
and where I don't know, which devices are there used.
So I tried dif= ferent combinations for the boot-device/path combinations,
as mentioned = in the installation instructions and tried out some more combinations.
But didn't get a result.

BTW there was no boot-error message, as in = the instructions was mentioned,
but the machine didn't boot with the com= binations I tried.
I tried <tab> in the hope to get a thing like u= nder Linux,
when a bootloader is installed, so that I may can select one of the
= installations that will be shown. But nothing.
So this is a flight with = a blind pilot.

Is there a feature which is not mentioned in the inst= ructions but can help here?
(Or would it possible to add it)?

As not using my machine, I can= 't change settings and devices in the machine.
So I should have to wait = until I would have a PC that is mine (only have
a PowerBook now, and no = x86 at hand).

Or is there someone who has created a CD-collection of Plan9 forApple-Hardware with PowerPC chipset?

OK, yes it's nice to hear this. := )
So this is a motivation-push to get it running ...

Ciao,
