I like the bug's name.

Yes, that worked. Many thanks! Possibly time to add that suggestion
to the wiki.
I found that the acme intro that is displayed for glenda is _very_
useful. I've actually managed to use acme to edit a few config files.
Two further problems before I go away and shut up for a while:
1. The mouse pointer is accompanied by a great block of ugliness, sort
of like the following two images (I've used a "T" where it has the
arrow pointer), the first is for 1024x768x8, the second for
1280x1024x8. In both cases the "point" is the top left corner, so its
difficult to correctly find things at 1280x1024:
T== == ==T==
== == == ==
== == == ==
== == == ==
The PC300 has a video card that seems to be identified in vgainfo.txt
as:
virge->snarf->s3generic
Unknown ViRGE/Trio64+ - 0x8904
Trio64+
vga->attr: 0xC004B=S3 86C366 Video BIOS
I added it to the section with the only other Trio64V+, but it doesn't
appear "optimal" for this video card. Any suggestions for dealing
with the pointer?
2. Updating
I've tried to follow the update instructions from the Bell labs
webpage, have registered an account, but when I run the scripts I get
the following:
post...
!Adding key: dom=outside.plan9.bell-labs.com proto=p9sk1
user[bootes]: ajftnew
password:
!
srv tcp!source.cs.bell-labs.com!9fs: mount failed: authentication failed
bind: /n/sources/plan9: '/n/sources' does not exist
servermount: bind 181: bin
How can I find out where/why the authentication is failing? I *think*
I've got the network setup correctly, I've managed to successfully ssh
to a machine outside the university.
