So I’m kind of using 9front for the first time and I really like it. It’s really quite a simple operating system. There has certainly been a learning curve coming from Linux and BSD, but I’m getting there. Just need to set up Mail, Faces and an IRC client next.

So far I’ve just edited the theme, set up a couple functions, customised my riostart, edited the winwatch source code to reduce the padding etc. Everything I’ve done is pretty much in the acme window.

I’ve connected to the 9p VPS through rcpu which I find much better than using draw term. Although I suppose I’ll need to use draw term to complete challenge two, set up faces for neinbook.

I’m hoping to learn how to edit the main right click menu so I can add launch commands for acme and netsurf. I also would like to edit the new window command to enable -scroll in all new windows. Any tips are welcome and appreciated.

    cp /bin/tacme $home/bin/amd64/acme change your profile like so: bind -b $home/bin/$cputype /bin

    and you can use your local copy of acme.

    Faces on sdf is neinbook

    for your new windows command, in your profile, just add the -s argument to rio rio -i riostart -s

      I actually just set fn acme{ /bin/tacme -b -c 1 $* } in my profile which also works.
