Myabe you just need unstable..._just_ unstable??I tried the three most recent Debian kernels to no avail. I guess I _should_ have just coaxed a prebuilt kernel into place.
well, woody might have some tools that are too old... not sure what's the problem... unstable should be current enough for current kernel (I have 2.6.5)
and it's just need, not just unstable:-)
I don't know just when the hfsplus driver first appeared: I "just assumed" it's not in the Woody kernel coz it's too new and so I just went for the newest kernel I thought would be easy, without going to backports.
I used it somewhere around 2.4.20, don't remember exactly which one (2.4.23?) so 2.4.19 might be good enough...
Anyway, the time for talking is past and I'll be attaching it to my Powerbook later today, and after that the drive will be reformatted for Linux.
come on, there's no need for such give-up attitude! :-) erik
