The information in it was moved onto the wiki (http://plan9.bell-labs.com/wiki/plan9), where anyone can edit and add to it (and some have: thank you!). If you run across something that you think isn't explained well on the wiki, you can add it yourself or just point out the deficiency and we'll try to correct it. I read daily diffs of the wiki every morning and try to correct things that are incomplete or misleading. Please don't feel shy about editing it -- if something isn't clear or you wish something was there, by all means add it. People have been known to create pages that they wish existed and just leave the body with "someone please write a page about this", and that has been effective too. The start.html that google has cached applies to the third edition and is out of date in many places. The same comments apply to the installation instructions (the former install.html, .ps, .pdf). The google cache is from the third edition and out of date; see the wiki. A question for you: you say "all these references pointing to a dead link". I can't find any references on our pages. I found one reference on the wiki in the file server setup page; I have changed it to point to the main wiki page. Where do you see references? Thanks. Russ
