I am new to plan9. I have problems running it. Yesterday I try to install it. The installations went well. I had problems booting from the boot floppy it created but Russ told me how to fix it. Now I have another problem. When I loggin as glenda it starts the windows system but everything is messed up (black background, pieces of open windows, text, arrows are all over the screen). I thought that the screen size and the # of bpp were too much (1024x756x16) so I did a new install with 800x600x8 but have the same problem. Let me know what to do. During the installations all of the windows are nice and I played with them a bit, so probably it is not that it doesn't support my hardware(?). Let me know how to fix it. Thanks, Ivan --upas-sutigoyevsoyfkngriswpiwggb--
