you don't need your venti up and running!

remember, all resources are the same, regardless of where they exist
on the net.  run the following on your (networked) box:

% mntgen # just in case you don't have /n/sourcesdump and /n/sourcessnap
% 9fs sources
% history /n/sources/plan9/sys/src/9/pc/vganvidia.c
...

ah, the beauty of plan9. looking at the other screen i want to cry now:

# du -sh gt3.2.1-preogsi-source-installer.tar.gz 
84M     gt3.2.1-preogsi-source-installer.tar.gz
