[9fans] A few installation questions...

[Poly-poly man <pyrophobicman@gmail.com>]

Hiya! I've used linux for almost my entire life, and absolutely love it. But
when I found out about plan 9 the other day, I loved some of the features
built into it (not to mention Glenda ;) )

Anyway, I've been playing a little bit with the livecd (I haven't had many
chances to play with it because my Gentoo partition on this computer is
emerging... and whenever I can let it compile...). I do, however, want to
install on my hard drive. I have a bunch of questions, though.

1. I want to keep Gentoo on here. I already have an extra partition (that I
had _something_ on, but I can wipe it). It looks like:

hda1: 100mb, gentoo's /boot, has grub info, ext2
hda2: 1gb, linux swap
hda3: 123gb, gentoo's /, ext3
hda4: 30gb, can be deleted (put plan9 here ;) )

Firstly, from what I've seen in the docs, there'll be no problem using that
and not touching anything else, right? If you wipe my Gentoo, I wipe your
face! The more important problem is booting. I have grub installed in the
mbr (from my gentoo installation), and would really like to keep grub.
Assuming I install plan 9 in hda4 (or whatever you call it ;) ), what steps
would I have to take to get it to be able to boot plan9?

2. I live in America, where the government was stupid enough to change what
day Daylight Savings Time changes fall on. Unfortunately, release 4 was
released back in 2002 - before the new law came into play. What will I have
to do to fix the daylight savings time rules? This is a particular problem,
because I am planning on installing within the week (and this week is the
week that should have been an hour back already, but is not yet under the
new laws... stupid country ;) ).

Thanks in advance,
