RE: [9fans] Can`t install inferno

Charon is only available with inferno correct ?
Where do you unpack other items like gnubin.tgz ?

If you want to use inferno under 4e plan9, you have to download a full
distribution and the latest (experimental) update and use the emu from the
update to install inferno. Otherwise it will only copy the license file.
1. download the 18.06.2001 release (inferno.tgz, plan9.tgz)
2. unpack both (read release notes)
3. download the update files from 15.07.2002 (inferno.tgz, plan9.tgz)
4. unpack both (read release notes)
5. rename emu binary from 18.06.2001 release to emu.old
6. rename emu.new (from 15.07.2002) release to emu

I can't comment on the permission denied message.

 hope this helps: gergo

ps: acme won't work: you probably can't get it running under 4e plan9
without sources. (It is an experimental release)
