[9fans] Plan 9 source..

[Honne Gowda A]

Hello All,

Where can I download plan 9 source(tar or tgz)? I tried from Plan9 wesite of
bell-labs, but from there I can download only iso image of plan9. Are there any
cross-references(like  http://lxr.linux.no/  for linux)?

TIA,
-HG

your best bet is to download and burn the ISO image. otherwise Plan 9's source
code is available on the net only if you have a Plan 9 client.

there used to be a Plan 9 LXR for the third edition, but it went offline
long time ago and nobody has bothered to put a new one (or they weren't allowed
to ;)

Yes, we can mount the image file. I am using Solaris and I found the following
link very usefull.

Yes, using the loop device.  From the manpage, a floppy example:

         mount /tmp/fdimage /mnt -t msdos -o loop=/dev/loop3,blocksize=1024

Yes: you can mount the image via the loop back device.

Can't you read an iso image on Linux without blowing a CDROM?
