Hello all,

I am a new user to bell labs plan9. I have it installed on my raspberry pi
400, and I'd also like to get it running on my old desktop as a file
server, which ive been able to boot using legacy9s USB (don't  have blank
CDs for bell labs). I was wondering about something, I've been having some
difficultly using the OS, using commands to do things and getting web
browsing to work with abaco (complains about no DNS). Is the OS assuming
you are proficent in Unix commands? I am not that experienced with
Unix/Linux commands, other than the odd cp or rm commands. I am glad the
man pages are available on the system, but it doesn't really point me in
the right direction on how to write commands, thus my question. I wonder if
I'm missing a certain paper or guide. Sorry if am bothering anyone with
this question, and please excuse my ignorance.

Rc has no idea what size font it is using.
Your font is set in /usr/you/lib/profile.
To use ftp, run ftpfs.
To use nfs, there used to be a program called
cnfs in the second edition, and I tried to port it
but it didn't quite work for me.  Perhaps the
original authors will update it.

If the freezing systems have 5.25" floppy disks,
try disabling them.  If you've specified an ether
card, try commenting it out in plan9.ini.

As for the 486 it sounds like more floppy problems
(something is amiss in the floppy driver, but no
one is sure what).  I don't understand why having
an old floppy drive under Linux would mean you 
can't mount disks of type vfat or ext2.  I don't
know what tricks ext2 pulls, but vfat should be 
using the same bits as fat does, i.e. the standard
1.44MB of data.
