Yes you can, assuming you're running Linux on a box that can access its
floppy drive (so no m68k mac :-). You have two options: either you use
the hfsutils ('hmount /dev/fd0; hls :' and stuff like that), or you
mount fstype hfs -- but in that case, you won't have the special
abilities the hfsutils have, such as decrypting hqx on the fly.
