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
qemu -boot=A0 c -cdrom plan9.img -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

from a cf card, but without succsess :-(.
I = got a working linux on this maschine. Maybe its possible to install plan = down from
this *dont know* and erase the linux = later.

if I understand correctly, you cannot = directly install on the X20

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.
