Because I have neither the time nor the patience to fight with venti.
If the CD based installer worked on my machine at all, it'd be a lot
easier. But since everything I do on Plan 9 is really just for kicks
I don't care that much if it all gets blown away now and again.
If you've ever tried to venti format a 20GB disk you'd know why it
sucks to deal with. I don't have 24 hours to wait for it to finish as
this is also my main linux box for my day job.
And yes, I've lost data on fossil before. So I take some precautions.
Dave
