(replying to own post here -- first signs of geek-senility...) OK, I´ve installed hfsplusutils-1.0.4-4.i386.rpm (src.rpm wouldn´t rebuild on my system, didn´t want to muck around), and .... ...it works!! took a Mac OSX-partitioned firewire drive, plugged it in to Linux i386 box, checked dmesg to find device (/dev/sda), and [EMAIL PROTECTED] john]$ hpmount -r -p3 /dev/sda (read-only, partition 3) then [EMAIL PROTECTED] john]$ hpls Apps ATOG Macintosh HD_asr.dmg Backup_bootie.sparseimage BBEdit User Manual (HTML) BBEditUserManual_HTML.sit.bin Build additions Carbon Copy Cloner Citrix ICA Client client_50540.sit etc... [EMAIL PROTECTED] john]$ hpcopy -r Picture\ 1.pdf /home/john/ (raw data copy) gives a readable pdf Finally [EMAIL PROTECTED] john]$ hpumount Now, I guess I´d like it to mount somewhere tangible, rather than virtual, but all in all, I´m impressed. It mounted the first partition (which is MacOSX Server), the second (MacOSX Client), and the third (MacOSX data drive) flawlessly.
