ajft

Another bloody motorist who can't be bloody bothered to watch where they're bloody going and obey the bloody give-way signs. Idiot old builder in crappy old white Ford station wagon, tears up the merge lane of North road from Huntingdale and goes straight through the give-way sign, straight past the “watch for bicycles” and would have hit me square on if I hadn't swerved out of the way. Glancing blow on the knee and hand, looks round in amazement at the loud bang as the bike hits the door and slows for a moment, then roars off up the road. Registration Vic. DPC-215, oh yeah, only one working brake light too....

Assorted mucking about with inferno, getting it all working on the Windows XP laptop. Hassles since home area is in both a file path with spaces in it and not the C: drive! (D:\Documents and Settings\ajft\pkg\inferno).

Inferno just wouldn't install to a path with a space in it, so I installed to C:\infern then copied all the files to ~/pkg/inferno=, ran regedit and changed the root path. Then updated the Start menu icon to launch the correct executable with the correct parameters.

Could not get ~/namespace to handle paths with spaces in them either, so I've ended up with a convoluted path to get Inferno launched and running:

1. %HOME%\pkg\inferno\inferno.cmd that contains:

     "%HOME%\pkg\inferno\Nt\386\bin\emu.exe" -g1280x1024 \
       "-r%HOME%\pkg\inferno" sh.dis /%COMPUTERNAME%.sh



2. %HOME%\pkg\inferno\%COMPUTERNAME%.sh that contains:

     bind -bc '#UD:/Documents and Settings/ajft' /usr/ajft
     svc/net
     wm/wm wm/logon -u ajft



3. %HOME%\pkg\inferno\usr\ajft\namespace that contains:

     bind -ia #C /
     bind -a #UC:/ /n/c
     bind -c /usr/ajft/tmp /tmp
     bind -a /usr/ajft/dis /dis
     bind -a /usr/ajft/module /module

A kind of awful loop-back mounting of package within the home directory has a home directory that mounts the real home directory over the top of itself.

Mounting external resources:

The following works, showing me I've got the network configuration setup correctly and can access sources.

 mount -A tcp!sources.cs.bell-labs.com!9fs /n/remote

I can mount caerwyn's wiki, but /acme/wiki doesn't (yet) exist in this installation so I can only see the raw files.

Local mount -A tcp!canto.hopto.org!wiki /mnt/wiki
/acme/wiki/Wiki

Tried to follow some of caerwyn's Getting Started, but the first steps are to create an account, and the first step of that is an anonymous mount that won't work for me.
