DESCRIPTION

These programs help maintain a file system on a local disk for a private 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 command.

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 Nextstation from disk, it should be installed in the partition /dev/hd1label; this is normally done by nexstation/home.
