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 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! -- DISCLAIMER:
