M= any thanks!

If you'll indulge two more quick questions, I would very much appre= ciate it. (1) Is there any support for the=C2=A0Edimax EW-7811Un USB= -WiFi adaptor -- or any other USB-WiFi adaptor?

Once I figure out how to customize the startu= p to run my own acme.dump (I think some of the earlier answers will help me= fix that) and anything else related to getting things set up that might be= useful to other new users, I plan on posting easy instructions at=C2=A0http:= //blogs.law.harvard.edu/plan9/.

If you just want to use drawterm to connect, the reply you quoted shows a simple way. =C2=A0If you want to use more plan 9 capabilities, like mountin= g the
pi file system remotely with 9fs, or connecting with a different user name,=
setting up a full cpu + auth + fossil server gives you that (and gives you<= br> a chance to understand plan 9 more thoroughly).

The 9pi.img already sets gpu ram size to the minimum. =C2=A0Plan 9 doesn= 9;t use
the gpu's accelerated graphics api, but the gpu is still doing some low= -level
functions behind the scenes.

I wouldn't advise overclocking anything. =C2=A0If you care that much ab= out speed,
why use a raspberry pi?
