			**Yeah I'm probably not going to be able to do that. This report is going to be more indepth information about plan9 then about implementation at this point. oh well there's still plenty to talk about.

			**more text flies by. Asks me to login. Default is none.
			That gets me nowhere.
			**look at guide, says to log in as glenda. do so.
			**Still can't do much, going to have to follow guide
			**everything keeps Breaking no matter what I do.
			**Switching to a virtual machine. There better be a way to get virtual machines to talk to each other as I want a network.

			*Redo everything again in a virtual machine
			**Thanks to virtual box I can overcome constant crashing and freezing. Process is the same as far as I can tell, but the graphical interface is working now if nothing else. Graphical interface appears to just be same text as before in a '90s era box.
			**windows can be moved around, 2 of the windows split the previously viewed text and another seems to show the system doing stuff.

			*first boot in VM
			**log in as "Glenda" apparently the default login user
			**load into a fairly simple system of windows.
			**stuff for monitoring the system, a help window navigation window.

			*new user
			**Followed the commands on the guide and I think I made a new user. will log in to it later.

			*edit plan9.ini
			*edited plan9.ini to change screen resolution from 600480 to 800*600
			**apparently that worked.

			*tried to log in as new user instead of default user
			**crashed the system, but screen resolution changed.
			**if I can get a real new user I'll make another plan9 box and set up a network
