I also think the suggested changes are rather narrowly focused on the procedure described in the wiki for constructing an `all-in one' cpu/auth/terminal. I'm not sure you've given the same consideration to the many ways of distributing Plan 9 that has been given to the default scripts in the distribution. (This is not to say those default scripts can't be improved.) The suggested changes are really documentation (that's why they are all commented) for building a very particular sort of `combo' Plan 9 system; IMO you should maybe change the wiki but not the scripts. -- Josh
