Kerry, Did you get this solved? My experience with Mac CDs:
I received four(4) CDs from an advertising service bureau in Mac format. Running RHL 7.2/7.3 I was able to mount these CDs in Linux with: sudo mount -t hfs /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom This allowed me to read the CDs where, without having my TiBook at work (hey, I'm not being paid to use my personal equipment), Micros~1's OS would not. I was able to temporarily export the file systems on the CDs via Samba to use in Photoshop on Windoze. Now, the question is does Mac OS X burn CDs in HFS, HFS+ or ISO9660? I believe it burns them in ISO9660... I have not used any burned at home at work so I can't confirm this. The mount command should mount that CD *without* a type switch (this is mentioned in the man file for mount) as ISO9660 is the default fs type. It is also possible that they burn in UDF. As UDF was a popular Mac format in the Classic environment (that's the lingo for a pre Mac OS X system). Also note that the default mount command for CDs in RHL7.2/7.3 only allows root to mount CDs: [tstone@vahalla tstone]$ more /etc/fstab ... /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0 ... This is the way it is on my RHL7.3 system (I've been lazy and haven't relaxed my settings, but it's a bit more secure I would argue). You may need to be sure that you have permission to mount CDs in an arbituary format. Either su to root, or use sudo (as I have done, but this requires that you have set up sudo for your normal user/group.)
