Classic MOL newbie question

[Brendan J Simon]

Do I have to do the same for MacOS-X ???
ie. do I have to have separate disk files for each OS?
If so, how do I share files between linux, macos and macosx

Sorry for simple questions.  Please point to appropriate docs if this 
information is somewhere else.

Vielen Dank,
Brendan Simon.
