Plan 9 can be installed through net/ppp/local, when you get installation menu you see there. JF> Does anyone know what causes this, and how it could be fixed? When you install Plan 9 from local CD-ROM firstly check this: CD-ROM should be secondary master, because plan9.ini: plan9.ini>>bootfile=sdD0!cdboot!9pccd.gz sdD0 read like this sd - storage device ??C - IDE primary ??D - IDE secondary ???0 - master ???1 - slave cdboot - partition JF>multi-booters Use VMWare (video driver for this VM included to Plan 9), it's more safely way. In plan9 page you can get preinstalled images for VMWare (VMWare have 30-days trial). P.S. Sorry for my english. -- http://rs-rlab.narod.ru mailto:rs_rlab@mail.ru
