CONTENTS OF THIS DIRECTORY: INSTALLING README INDEX GUIDE - intro documentation and help build - script to build all components of the namespace toolkit bootdir.extras/ - central point for main rootless boot tools bootpaq - this is compiled into the kernel and contains tools from root/lib/_mkpaq factotum grio hub hubfs hubshell rc rcmain - programs compiled into boot namespace namespace.saveterm namespace.standard - customized namespace files adapted to the rootless environment plan9rc - the main namespace launcher script which controls boot and launching additional namespaces ramskel - sets up the ramfs skeleton and optional tgzfs initskel - acts as a mini-cpurc for the rootless environment and its network services save9cfg - script to save variables used in plan9.ini and by plan9rc and initskel skel.tar - this is the tar of the bootdir.extras/root subdirectory root/ - this is what becomes the skeleton ramfs used in the early boot environment. it contains mostly empty directories and a /usr/bootes template user directory. cfg/ - contains configuration files and utility scripts, as well as the toolcopy script which can be used to customize the contents of the early boot namespace compiletemp/ - used by the build script to compile things in diffs/ - these files show the diffs between the modified ANTS files and the base 9front distribution doc/ - documentation for bootup, namespace scripts, fossil/venti tools, plan9.ini/plan9rc/initskel variables ants.ps - please page ants.ps to read the full Giant ANTS paper examples/ - contains saved output of tests and demonstrations modified.manpages/ - modified documentation for boot (8) and proc (3) textdoc/ - older plaintext forms of documentation prior to manpage writing frontmods/ - modified 9front code to be bound over base versions grio/ - modified rio with hubfs integration and other features hubfs/ - a 'screen' replacement as a 9p fs, also general purpose network transparent pipe muxing for grids patched/ - contains miscellaneous patched utilities, most of which are not part of base ANTS install root/ - used to build the tools.tgz. It contains additional chunks of information used to provide a slightly richer plan 9 environment. scripts/ - contains the non-bootup related namespace manipulation and fossil/venti maintenance scripts. AFTER COMPILING: 9ants - 9front kernel. install in 9fat partition tools.tgz - optional support utilities. Place in 9fat
