i think i missed this earlier. sure, you can remove them
but they're not doing any harm there -- they only get used
when you select the corresponding menu entry.

I had R3 installed in a Dell Inspiron 3500 laptop. When I created a
floppy and booted it, I got a continous stream of console messages of
the format: "Selection: line to long"
right after 2 "pc routing" messages. I got a new floppy, rewrote the
install floppy, booted fine. Completed the install, made a boot disk,
and set the system to boot plan9 from hard drive.
When I reooted, I got the same messages as above, either booting from
the hard drive or boot disk. Has anyone seen this before? Any
suggestions? I suspected my plan9.ini file, but did not see anything
very obvious.

I was able to boot off of the boot floppy, with none of the messages
above, by changing PLAN9INI.BAK to plan9.ini. Once in, I glanced at
plan9.ini in 9fat, saw the multiple stanzas for release 3 and 4, and
decided it was time for bed. I need to take a closer look at the
plan9.ini, but can I get rid of the release 3 stanzas, without any
harm?
Thanks,
Tom
