I use kfs on a standalone Plan 9 box.
The computer has a 100 MHz CPU with
some 48 MB RAM. fossil hogs all
processing power. kfs on the other hand
is wonderfully stable and low maintenance.

Plus, the code is beautiful.

The install procedure from CD involved
manually going through the install
commands. The install scripts are easy
to read and figure out.
Just make your partition and use the
install scripts as a guide for copying
stuff over from the CD onto kfs disk.

That's all to it.

Best,
ak
