Interestingly, I was googling all over the place and I found that if you want a dual boot debian/macos machine (like me!), and you want to transfer files between the 2 OSes, you should probably use a windows (fat) partition.
And here you are, doing almost the same thing. There might be a future for windows, after all. -----Original Message----- From: Toku [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, December 26, 2002 8:31 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Macintosh formatted FD's usable in Debian? Hi, Hfsutils does the job! I have managed to transfer a file from the Linux box to the Mac using a floppy and from one word processor to another without even loosing the formatting of the text (!). That's just what I was looking for. And it's even easy to do. I was thinking of using DOS formatted disks in the first place but Old Mac (OS D1-7.1) doesn't seem to know about the DOS disk format yet. I could have found out about hfsutils myself if I had searched apt more closely...hm... Thanks for your fast and helpful responses. Toku ------------------------- Sign up Now!!
