[9fans] Newbie problems

[Peter Gentry]

Hi All,

I came across Plan9 some time ago and have now decided to give it a go.
However, the CD image seems to be broken or corrupted. I have tried
downloading it on different machines but the iso cannot be read although it
has been successfully extracted from the bz2 file.

Also, the following site doesn't work either: -
https://lists.cse.psu.edu/mailman/listinfo/9fans.

Any help on these would be greatly appreciated.

i can confirm both of these facts.  the .bz2 may be properly bzipped
but the image just isn't large enough.

Hey Peter,

I can't help you with the image problems. But if you'd like to try
Plan 9 on qemu in the meantime you can check out:
http://www.oszoo.org/wiki/index.php/Plan9_070107.zip and get the
torrented image from there.
