... can spare some bandwidth and post a Qemu image of Plan 9 (2-3 Gb, cow, raw, whatever, but compress it so I don't eat your bandwidth!) somewhere over the net? I could host it afterwards (provided it is not too big, I only have 15 GB/month in my VPS) to keep it available for other users.

Yesterday I fighted with qemu and the latest ISO, but to no avail. Hangs on copydist (waited ~20 minutes.) Tried with dma on, dma off, dma on for only CD and dma only for HDD, raw and qcow disk images (yes, I'm persistent. )Nothing. Nada. Sigh! It was easier to install in my old TravelMate (though no ethernet after doing it, should have checked before so not to be disappointed.)

I can boot perfectly the 9queen/9worker images recently posted related to the ANTS project, but I'm still too new to Plan9 to understand their need or use, so I'd rather have a normal image to play with (although having a 16mb working image is impressive, and works great with drawterm)

Thanks in advance, 

Ruben
