Re: NEWS for debian-boot
michael,
(i trimmed the cc:)
i have done a ton of work using mkhybrid for turbolinux. it's a great
tool. (we wanted a hybrid so files could have long names, mac files
wouldn't have to be unstuffed before being used, and so mach could load
the linux server from the hfs side...)
you will have to represent some files twice--once as MacBinary or BinHex
and another time unstuffed. unstuff things under macos to a floppy and
mount the floppy -o fork=netatalk,afpd to see the files. copy them
carefully (don't forget the .AppleDouble dirs) INTO your ext2-based
working filesystem and then make your image. i use
mkhybrid -map /mnt/extra/hybrid/misc/src/mapping --netatalk -a -j -hfs -r
-V "TurboLinuxPPC" -o /mnt/image/hybrid.img /mnt/extra/hybrid
to make the image; mapping contains:
#exten xlate creator type comment
.hqx Ascii 'BnHq' 'TEXT' "BinHex file"
.mov Raw 'TVOD' 'MooV' "QuickTime Movie"
.rpm Raw 'RHat' 'bina' "RedHat package"
* Ascii 'ttxt' 'TEXT' "Text file"
(the last line is the important one)
hope that helps.
