Accessing Mac Partition Files

[Rick Thomas]

PPC Linux can't mount HFS+ partitions.  And it has only limited support for
HFS partitions.

Do "man -k hfs" to see the details of what support there is.

Somebody (you?) needs to bring that code into the nineties.  It's open
source, after all!  We would all benefit if someone put the necessary effort
into supporting an "hfsplus" file system type.

Do I hear any volunteers?
