[9fans] first timer - editing plan9.ini


Ok, so I have my fossil+venti and hopefully soon-to-be cpu and auth-server
booted up for the first time, and I'm in rio as user glenda.

I'm continuing to follow the docs, which is prompting me to edit plan9.ini for
various things.

sam is completely opaque to the uninitiated. (I'm a mere vi fanatic)

Before I go into sitting down and learning sam, it would be nice to simply be
able get the machine running in a minimally satisfactory way, i.e.: network
online, display running at reasonable depth, venti finished, and auth-serv
working.

Can someone give me just the bare minimal sam command/info that I need to:

edit a couple lines
close and save properly


.... better yet: is there a simple/minimal editor that doesn't require
learning a command language to begin using it first?

I began by beginning to read through sam_tut.pdf, and I look forward to
gaining proficiency with it... but not at this moment - I just want to get my
new plan9 box running so I can access it remotely.

As it is, I'm guessing I'm just going to hose my plan9.ini if I try editing it
before I'm well familiar with sam...


THanks!
