Just in case anyone is interested, it does seem possible to run the
current plan9 in VMware workstation v5.
I found a VMware image at
http://blog.gammal.org/2007/05/plan9-vmware-image.html
(compressed with a weird PC-dude-type compressor)
I'm running venti on the linux host under p9p, three 512M arenas in
/usr/local/venti, and have configured the p9 fossil to use it -- no
problems there.
The only problems I've found is that cut/snarf don't seem to work
correctly, the snarf buffer seems to always be full of what was
copied/cut on the host system, and the mouse cursor won't always behave
itself -- sometimes when it gets into the lower 20% of the screen it
leaps straight to the bottom, and a bit to the left.
Any suggestions on fixing the mouse? I use "mouseport=ps2" in plan9.ini
Why? I have to use VMware on the system for work-related porpoises so I
tried the plan9 image to see if it was workable.
