Well, I''ve got at least two releases of Plan 9, so it can be taken for
granted
I''ve signed on the dotted line, etc, ad infinitum ad nauseam.  The
source
code''s locked up in the cdrom image and the vmware disk images - is
there a
way to get ahold of the source code minus the cdromageness and vmwareness?

I''m wanting to run Plan 9 plus Linux plus NetBSD plus FreeBSD (plus
VSTa plus
Syllable, etc - when I get around to it! ;) and have just got myself some
more hardware for that purpose.

Any ideas?

Thanks
