change keyboard layout

change keyboard layout

[neo67]

Hiho

I try to search, at which place I can change my keyboard layout into
"qwerz", also known as "german latin" layout.
I find /cgf/plan9.ini but this is for booting from CD I guess.

"cp /sys/lib/kbmap/de /dev/kbmap" changes to german layout.
To run it on bootup add it to /cfg/$sysname/termrc.

% mkdir -p /cfg/$sysname
% echo cp /sys/lib/kbmap/de /dev/kbmap > /cfg/$sysname/termrc

YEAH! This is, what 9/plan/front means with "Everything is a file".
Absolutely elegant!
I search for a command like "find" in Linux, so I can search for
files.

There is no real equivalent of find.
du -a + sed/awk/grep is commonly used for the task (yes, it's a bit
cumbersome).

Ah..yes.
Okay, is not so heavy... I want to create a find.sh
___________________________
#!/bin/sh

du -a | grep $1
___________________________

in the /bin directory. But I got an error "mounted directory forbid a
creation"
But in /root/usr/glenda/bin I'm able to create files... is this
directory not mounted?
If, how can I create, if it is not mounted?

many questions...
another:

is /root/usr/glenda the home directory of glenda?
Because a "cd ~" is not yet implemented
>>>_________>>> What have they done since 1987? "Waiting for chrismas?" ;-)
Joke...

9front seems be very interesting to me
:)

The /bin directory is a union mount of (on the PC) /386/bin, /rc/bin,
/usr/$user/386/bin and /usr/$user/386/rc.
Shell scripts go into /rc/bin.
Also, our shell is called /bin/rc, not /bin/sh.

You don't need /root, just /usr/glenda/bin, but again, it's
/usr/glenda/bin/rc for shellscripts.

/root is not normally used.

Really, read the paper.

/usr/glenda is.

Just "cd" works if you mean to change to your homedirectory.
The Plan 9 shell does not recognize ~ as an alias for your homedir.
Use $home.

Okay, I find some *.sh files with "/bin/sh"... therefore I try sh...
