# Start the window manager:

Modifying the above to read 'exec ck-launch-session rio -grey' will
display a stippled grey background, instead of Plan 9's solid grey.
Use Ctrl+Alt+F2 to access tty2.

Use mouse button 3 to access the menu, select New,
then use mouse button 3 to draw a window.
9term is a dumb terminal.
As I have not ported Mothra to plan9port
start an xterm in the background to use a
text-browser; likewise for emacs, vi(m), or
yi (vty frontend with vim keymap), if you
prefer those to acme, ed, or sam.
From a running 9term in rio the number of processes is minimal.

Type 'rio exit' in 9term to end your session.
Logout of tty2 and use Ctrl+Alt+F1 to access tty1.
root@darkstar~# halt
NB: For ordinary use (after the software is installed) one can run exclusively on
/dev/tty1, delaying the 'root' login until the end, which factually is only needed
to run the commands "halt" or "reboot".
