[wplug] Mounting Mac HDD?

[T Quine]

I mentioned in another email.  It's an HFS+ filesystem.  You can mount it as 
an HFS+ filesystem, *BUT* it's just a readonly filesystem with the message 
telling you that you need a newer OS.   Try mounting it on a mac with OS 
8.0.1 or greater.  There (currently) isn't support for HFS+ filesystems with 
linux.
