Can you explain the "VM solutions" point further? The current plan 9 install CD is already a live CD. I don't imagine this places an extra burden on whoever maintains it. Once you have a live CD that works with your system (ie. the same one you installed with), you don't really need to update it unless you change to a new filesystem not supported by the CD. > - erik Tim Newsham http://www.thenewsh.com/~newsham/
