Plan9k Support

[jhagrid77 4]

I think it could be useful to have at least one type of support "system" for Plan9k such as an irc, or man, or anything that will help people who need help with Plan9k and it's many features.

I cant even seem to boot the plan9k floppy

I am getting this 

lib/modules/base/06_cowfs.lua:166: attempt to perform arithmetic on local 'hnd' (a table value)

Was it already installed on an HDD or something? Or is it the "demo" disk?

the demo disk

 

just FYI Im running OC 1.7.10-1.5.22.46 in-case that makes a difference

Try remaking it and tell me what happens.

yesiwearpants IIRC that is a known bug with Plan9k. A temporary fix is located on the github.

I got it installed. And that is all of it. Most of the programs result in errors. Besides nonfunctional programs like ifconfig, I do miss the man command. I see a lot of potential for this OS as soon all the commands perform as they should on plain install.
