Presuming that you have the utils needed for handling Mac filesystems, I'm sure the
Zip can be mounted with the -t option to be Mac, Solaris, Irix, BSD, or whatever else
there's modules for, in the same manner that you use mount -t vfat /dev/floppy /floppy
for Windoze formatted floppy (just use the appropriate option). However I do not know
if RH comes with the mac utils or HFS modules by default (aren't those called hfsutils
?). When I ls /lib/modules/2.2.14-5.0/fs/ I see two that look like they might do it:
hfs.o
hpfs.o
