Re: [9fans] Two ramfs?

Thank you. I'll try to play with File and Tree now.

btw, I had some problems on /tmp due to free space, getting messages
from ./INSTALL as these:
...
copy.o: No space left on device
/tmp/cc2IGQH6.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/cc2IGQH6.s:3059: FATAL: Can't write copy.o: Invalid argument
mk: 9c  copy.c  : exit status=exit(1)
mk: for i in ...  : exit status=exit(1)
mk: for i in ...  : exit status=exit(1)
...

nevertheless, the INSTALL script returned errorlevel 0.

I don't think this bothers many people, but I wasn't watching the
command output, and I trusted the errorlevel.

Regards.
