HI all,
i have downloaded Python and Perl from contrib section (.iso images).
I tried installing, the installer seems to assume a kfs
filesystem(which i think is no longer supported for native plan9
partition).
Anybody have a alternative how to install these packages.
Thanks
Prem

i'm not sure what the difficulty is, but kfs is supported in a plan9 partition.

I came across something similar when installing latex. The installer
uses replica/pull and assumes you can write to the /n/kfs disk.
Since newer plan 9 installs are fossil based to get around it I
disabled permissions checking (by using fossil/conf /dev/sdC0/fossil to
get the configuration and then adding -AWP and doing fossil/conf -w
/dev/sdC0/fossil and reboot) and then copied the tex file that
replica/pull uses and did s|/n/kfs|/|.
Check what the installer does.
