Re: [9fans] inferno

Simple fix to Charon that gets slashdot going
and also fixes some other layout probs...

in the file:
	/appl/charon/layout.b
function:
	relayout(...)
change the line:
			ff.y = 10000;
to read:
			ff.y = 16r6fffffff;

then run 'mk install'
or just limbo layout.b and move the .dis file to /dis/charon
under the Inferno root.

NOTE:
Making local changes like this will upset install/inst [see inst(1)]
when it comes to install an update to the 'inferno' package.
It will spot that the file has been locally modified and not overwrite
it with the latest version.
To get around this, make a copy of layout.b before you modify it.
When we make our next update available (in a few weeks time)
copy the old layout.b back into place so as the update installation
works properly.

Normally this fix would be done via Vita Nuova issuing 'updates',
so the crud about keeping a copy wouldn't be necessary,
but I felt that some of you would want this fix ASAP.

Cheers,

Chris.
