Subject: [9fans] successful install, iffy setup

hi; I have successfully installed plan9v3 on a laptop in the past 2
days.
I have 3 questions:
1: how do I mount an ext2 filesystem? I grok using /srv/dos for FAT
filesystems, but I don't see a parallel for the ext2 side of things (I
live in linux most of the time.)
2: is there a simple web browser for plan9? even an html viewer less
complex than html2ms | troff | page or the like?
3: how do I get my network set up like I did in linux? I understand that it
should be much simpler than it was for linux (1 file, etc), but I can't
seem to make it work.
I am behind a ip-masqueraded firewall, and our subnet is 192.168.0.xx
(192.168.0.0 subnetmask 255.255.255.0). our server/gateway (linux)
is 192.168.0.1 internally.
to deal with this in linux, I just do the following at boot time:
ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.69 # my local address
route add default gw 192.168.0.1 # all requests go through the server
after that, everything just works under linux.
I have gotten the first part done I think:
ip/ipconfig ether /net/ether0 192.168.0.69
but I don't see how to set up the gateway.
the only relevant information in the linux config files as far as I
know:
/etc/resolv.conf:
domain my.domain
ns my.ns.1
ns my.ns.2
search search.1 search.2
if someone could explain to me how to pattern-match the above into a
working /lib/ndb/local and/or /rc/bin/termrc, I would much appreciate
it.
thanks in advance for any help;
