WELCOME TO A COPY OF THE PLAN 9 WIKI Note that this is not the Plan 9 wiki. It is a local copy intended to demonstrate what the wiki data files look like. To get at the real Plan 9 wiki, execute: Local srv net!plan9.bell-labs.com!wiki wiki /mnt/wiki and then restart the wiki reader: Wiki /mnt/wiki Do not run the command Local wikifs /sys/lib/wiki which brings up this local copy instead. This collection of pages contains information pertinent to installing, configuring, and using the operating system [Plan 9 from Bell Labs | http://plan9.bell-labs.com/plan9]. This is a [wiki], which means that anyone with a web browser or a Plan 9 installation can edit any of the pages (including this one). If you find a document you believe to be unclear or incomplete, edit that page to fix it. We use a simple [wiki syntax] rather than full HTML, which makes the editing much easier. If you're using a web browser, there is an Edit link at the bottom of the page. If you're using Acme, just edit the text and put the document back. There are also [Acme wiki instructions].
