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.
