Plan 9 Distribution Errata List
Plan 9: The Diskettes
Installation from diskettes works correctly only on systems with a
single DOS partition; any other partitions on the disc will be
overwritten and the contents lost. A replacement set of diskettes is
available for pick-up via ftp. See /plan9/pcdist/README for more
information.
Plan 9 - The Manuals: Volume 1
There are a number of small changes to man pages, many already made to
the printed manual. See the diff file /plan9/errata/vol1.diff.
No man pages exist for icmp, ping, mnihongo.
Plan 9 - The Documents: Volume 2
There are a few small changes to the documents. See the diff file
/plan9/errata/vol2.diff.
Plan 9 CD: The Sources
The directory /plan9/update contains updates to the files contained on
the Plan 9 distribution CD. The updates are in the form of
self-extracting bundles of diffs with respect to the distribution
source. The updates are described in /plan9/update/CHANGES.
Miscellaneous
Diskette copies
The copies of the diskettes on the CD-ROM differ from the diskettes
themselves. The only difference is a print statement in the kernel.
/lib/ndb/local
The port for the ticket service is missing. This will keep
authentication from working if you install from the CD. Add the line:
il=ticket port=566
It is correct on the diskettes.
9powerboot
The binary used in the two-stage boot of an SGI Power Series machine,
9powerboot, requires a Cyclone device. To boot without a Cyclone,
specify the argument il.
The Unix utility - u9fs
If u9fs is not serving from the Unix root directory, that is, if Plan
9 is to see files only below a private root, mkdir /etc in that
directory and copy in passwd, group, hosts, and hosts.equiv.
/lib/font/bit/lucidasans
lsi.10, lsi.12 have bugs
missing directory on CD-ROM
/usr/none left off CD-ROM; log in as tor instead.
lookman(1)
The file /sys/lib/man/lookman/index incorrectly contains references to
sections 10 and 1pub which are not part of the distribution. They
should be edited out or lookman(1) will return some unresolvable
references.
