  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.)

You need an ext2 server like dossrv.
Someone at the University of Paris wrote
one for the second edition, which I updated
slightly for the third edition.  Some people
have reported problems using it; I
run it only in read-only mode.  I'll put it
on my web page until they get a chance
to roll in my changes.  It's not in the
distributed tree.

  2: is there a simple web browser for plan9? even an html viewer less
     complex than html2ms | troff | page or the like?

Sadly, no.  I believe there's web work in very early stages.

  3: how do I get my network set up like I did in linux? I understand that it

ip/ipconfig -g 192.168.0.1 ether /net/ether0 192.168.0.69 255.255.255.0
will do the configuration you want.

	echo 'add 0 0 192.168.0.1' >/net/iproute
will do the same thing as the -g flag.

as for /lib/ndb/local, something like

	ipnet=net-192-168 ip=192.168.0.0  ipmask=255.255.0.0 ipsubmask=255.255.255.0

	ipnet=mynet ip=192.168.0.0 ipmask=255.255.255.0
		dns=my.ns.1
		dns=my.ns.2
		dnsdomain=search.1
		dnsdomain=search.2

should suffice.
