INSTALL

The standard inferno install is from Vitanuova. Download and install the latest edition for your platform.

ACCOUNT

This website offers a number of services. Some, like this Wiki, which require no authorization, and a few others for which you need to create a userid and get a certificate.

Here are the steps to create a certificate

  mount tcp!canto.hopto.org!6678 /n/remote
  echo yourusername passwd > /n/remote/createuser

If the echo succeeds with no error message, then the new userid has been created. Then you need to get a certificate for that userid

  getauthinfo default

It will prompt you for a SIGNER; enter canto.hopto.org, then it will prompt for your username and password, use the ones from the previous step.

SERVICES

No you're ready to use some of the other canto services. There is a kfs filesystem, which you can browse but not edit (unless you email me requesting an account).

  mount tcp!canto.hopto.org!6669 /n/kfs

This contains accounts for some members of the inferno community, for example /usr/caerwyn/lab contains all the source for the Inferno Programmer's Notebook.

There is a public registry for you to announce your own services.

  mount tcp!canto.hopto.org!registry /mnt/registry

There is also a spree filesystem, which at the moment serves a small collection of games

  mount tcp!canto.hopto.org!6679 /n/remote
  spree/join -d /n/remote 0

A window will popup representing the lobby area. You can start a new game sesssion or watch other games.
