Great stuff, but 2 comments.

1) The link to the web interface to the cvs repository
(http://cvs.pdos.lcs.mit.edu/cvs/plan9/) seems to have disappeared from
the web-site and from the docs in the download (I had to search through m=
y
browser history to find it).

2) There may be some problem building the web manual if the installation
isn't in /usr/local/plan9.  Everything seems to work fine, but I got the
following messages near end of install.log:

Building web manual...
rc ./manweb
ls: [a-z0-9:]*.[0-9]*: No such file or directory
dhtml: unknown directive .(0x2e) at <stdin>:#13283
sed: Can't open /usr/local/plan9/dist/checkman.awk
Done.

When I installed in /usr/local/plan9, I got the following instead:

Building web manual...
rc ./manweb
ls: [a-z0-9:]*.[0-9]*: No such file or directory
dhtml: unknown directive .(0x2e) at <stdin>:#13283
Done.

I don't know if the set error indicates something serious or not.
