Message-ID: <b082e776bce5e6b6c885447b8c2da1b4@plan9.bell-labs.com> (raw)

/sys/lib/dist/pc/proto
contains a list of the programs that will be
put into the compressed file system.

cd /sys/lib/dist/pc; mk root.bz2
builds the compressed file system.

once the compressed file system is built,
cd /sys/src/9/pc; mk 'CONF=pcflop' 9pcflop.gz
builds the kernel, which includes the compressed
file system in its root.

once the kernel is built,
cd /sys/lib/dist/pc; mk ndisk
builds a floppy and puts the kernel on it.
you will probably want to edit plan9.ini.

thus, the compressed file system doesn't
appear on the floppy disk.  it's inside the
engorged kernel.

all that said, cd /sys/lib/dist/pc; mk ndisk
is supposed to know when to rebuild root.bz2
and then 9pcflop.gz automatically.
