Hi,

I have an old sony laptop which has a currently unsupported Neomagic 256
AV+ graphics device. Based on a reading of the XFree Neomagic driver I
have made changes to the kernel and aux/vga and, as you all probably
know ;-), I have re-compiled the kernel etc...(I have another pc running
Plan9)

The question is how best to proceed in getting these changes onto the Sony?

Originally I thought I could mount the plan9.iso change it and burn a
new cd...but this turned out to be a little more complicated than
expected. So I thought I'd better check with you guys to see if there is
another simpler way...

(When I run the installation cd on the Sony it gives up on Rio and drops
me into a full screen rc.)

Thanks

Bob
