wrt Firewire Drive + camera.
At the moment this cannot be done. The reason is that while you are
running MacOS inside linux, you are not using the MacOS serial, firewire,
or USB input protocols: Samuel is putting some sort of virtual device into
the MacOS which can get the correct information _from_ linux. Try looking
at your System Profile in MOL -- you will see what I mean. Therefore if
you are not beta testing firewire support in 2.4.0test? kernels then you
cannot have it in MOL.
Do the CD's show up with a CD icon? I do not think that you can remount
drives in MOL at the moment, though I recall Samuel saying that it would
not be too difficult to add. There is a way to export partitions or CD's
via netatalk -- which presiumably can therefore change. Look at the
netatalk information /usr/doc/netatalk... but I think the deal is to add
some flag to the mount command (you might need to recompile mount with
netatalk support).
Sorry,
Q.
