I'm kind of stuck here. My macos partition is really minimal; it
doesn't even have a driver for the ethernet card. I can download
stuff just fine in linux, and I can read-write the hfs partition, but
I don't have any macos tools that can unpack anything I can download
into an executable. Are there any linux tools that can unpack an hqx
file (or unpack some other format that stuffit expander is available
in)? I'm not really planning to do anything more with the macos on
this box, but I would like to help out wrt testing stuff if I can.
TIA,
cbb
