Hi everybody,
I'd really like to get some hands-on experience with Plan9,
the thing that stops me is some hardware resource shortage...
I got a linux box with some spare disk space, but no "unpartitioned" and
it's not to be played with as it's used for everyday routine work.
I also got a pretty ancient 486sx with 40Mb ram, but <sigh> 150Mb disk. 
(don't laugh please)
If I read install instructions correctly I have to have 300Mb minimum to be 
able to install.

My real question: is there a way around, so that I can install plan9 on 486 
with so little disk but use nfs(or something else) to share storage with 
linux box? (oh yes, I'm free to run any service I want on that linux box,
but cannot spare any partitions)

Thank you!
