Variation on sharing files

[Paul N. Schatz]

	I have yellowdog on partitions of one internal hard drive and 
Debian Linux on partitions of another internal hard drive on the same 
Mac.  I would like to access Debian files from yellowdog.  Can I 
simply mount and access the Debian partitions?

	Paul
