Here's what you can do
1) make some space on your ibm = hard drive ( few gigs is enough) with an empty partition say = hda3
2) start up qemu like this=A0
sudo qemu -boot=A0 = c -cdrom plan9.img /dev/hda
3) install plan 9 (if you want to = keep linux then don't let it write to your mbr and use grub to = boot)

=A0

I = got a working linux on this maschine. Maybe its possible to install plan = down from
this *dont know* and erase the linux = later.

is it = possible to copy the plan9 iso image onto your hard disk
(in a = windows or linux partition or so) when it is in the pakock,
and then = put the hard disk inside the IBM Thinkpad X20,
and then do the = installation, using the image on the hard disk?

hmmm... then the = problem becomes:
how to boot the X20 into the installation = program
once the hard disk is again inside the X20...
does the X20 = have a floppy,
or could a usb stick be used, or so?

sorry, = turns out I have more questions than = answers,
Axel.
