[9fans] tinycore 9vx .tce on sources

--rw-r--r-- M 26 rminnich sys    8805 Apr  3 17:41
/n/sources/contrib/rminnich/9vx.tce

Note this is only the following:
-rwxr-xr-x root/root        61 2009-10-13 22:11:07 usr/local/bin/9vx
-rwxr-xr-x tc/staff        20 2009-10-14 03:38:18 usr/local/tce.flwm/9vx
-rw-r--r-- tc/staff      8580 2009-10-14 03:29:01 usr/local/tce.icons/9ball.png
-rw-r--r-- tc/staff        48 2009-10-14 03:39:49 usr/local/tce.icons/9vx
-rw-r--r-- tc/staff        49 2009-10-14 03:31:19 usr/local/tce.menu/9vx

If you drop this into the tce directory on tinycore, it will give you
the 9ball in the menu at the bottom and the flwm menu items on boot.

The files look like this:

tc@box:~$ cat usr/local/tce.menu/9vx
<JWM>
<Program label="9vx">9vxr</Program>
</JWM>

tc@box:~$ cat usr/local/bin/9vx
#!/bin/sh
cd `cat /opt/.tce_dir`/../tc/plan9/9vx*
exec ./9vx

tc@box:~$ ls -l usr/local/tce.flwm/9vx
-rwxr-xr-x    1 tc       staff          20 Oct 14 03:38 usr/local/tce.flwm/9vx

tc@box:~$ cat  usr/local/tce.flwm/9vx
#!/bin/sh
exec 9vxr
tc@box:~$

What's the 9vxr reference? Actually, I don't know. I have to go look!

The 9ball.png is too small to look nice. However, we have a .svg
version of this now, see: http://swtch.com/~rsc/9ball.svg

so you can make a bigger version.

Obviously, this is incomplete. You need the root file system from 9vx.
The scripts are written so that if you put the 9vx-0.what into

/tc/plan9/9vx-0.12

on the stick, all will work. You can use the tinycore scripts to build
a usb stick and then put these directories into place on it.

Questions? Let me know.

Thanks

Wild. I've been screwing around with a tinycore terminal server in a couple
of VMs and I was planning on building a TCE for 9vx after this weekend's
Easter festivities.  Thanks!

Maybe I should procrastinate more often....
