The peecee is running Woody.Is there a way to access the data on the disk w/o attaching it to my powerbook?(using the powerbook entails a visit to the site).did you try to mount the disk? from partition table it looks like this might work: mount -t hfsplus /dev/sda3 /mnt/macDiskyou need mac partition support in kernel (looks like you have that otherwise parted would not recognize partitions, I guess) and hfsplus filesystem support in kernel. You also need support for USB mass storage (these appear as scsi disks, e.g. /dev/sda)
USB is fine. I think parted interprets the data it reads.

THere's a 2.6 kernel there too, but it's in a different box. If I have to go onsite, I might as well use OSX on the powerbook.
However, I _can_ build a Sarge 2.4 kernel. Maybe. -- Cheers John -- spambait 1aaaaaaa@computerdatasafe.com.au Z1aaaaaaa@computerdatasafe.com.au Tourist pics http://portgeographe.environmentaldisasters.cds.merseine.nu/
