DESCRIPTION
These programs help maintain a file system on a local disk for a pri‐
vate machine.
Home partitions a disk, copies the appropriate kernel to the disk, and
makes a new file system on the disk. To do this, it overwrites the
vendor-supplied software on the disk with a copy of Plan 9. 40meg,
80meg, and 100meg configure disks and make file systems for disks of
the appropriate size.
Update copies the current kernel to the disk and updates files on the
local file system. It only updates those files put there by the home
program.
Personalize removes the contents of the /usr directory on the local
disk and copies a minimal set of files for the user who runs the com‐
mand.
The file /rc/bin/nextstation/Disclabel, despite its name, is not an
rc(1) script. It contains the second stage bootstrap program for
Nextstations booting from local disk. Before booting a Plan 9 Nextsta‐
tion from disk, it should be installed in the partition /dev/hd1label;
this is normally done by nexstation/home.
