http://www.plan9.bell-labs.com/wiki/plan9/Setting_up_Venti/index.html
has the gist of setting up venti by hand. The bits on re-configuring
Fossil aren't there (save for the mention of the venti environment
variable). In my mind the man pages pick up the slack of the wiki in
this case.
Also, I personally use the 9fans archive as my own personal manual next
to the man pages (and at last resort the wiki). I for some reason
always get the impression that the wiki is missing bits... so I use it
only has a means of discovering just what man page exactly I should be
reading :)
