Hi,
I would like to try the minimal 4-diskettes distribution of plan9. Is
there any way of installing without having DOS?
For example, could I boot from a Linux floppy and bootstrap from
there? 

Thanks for your time

Thanks for your help. I followed a link from some other site I don't
remember and got to that page...

The minimal 4-diskette distribution to which you refer is from 1995.
You want to have a look at the new plan9.bell-labs.com/plan9,
which contains the 2000 distribution.  No DOS required.
