I would like to access my osx partition from dsl. I didn't see any extensions for HFS+ support. Is it possible?

You see... even with the incredibly polished osX86 I have running, I still gotta have the ever-innovative and useful dsl on another partition. :cool:

It would be nice to exchange files between the two. I've been using a fat32 partition to access the dsl partition from inside osx86, but the HFS+ partition (osx86 partition) is invisible to dsl.

Bump... Anybody?

Is there something inherent in the kernel that DSL uses that makes this impossible? I use Geexbox ( < http://geexbox.org/en/index.html > ) also in this setup. It is able to read the hfs partition no problem.

Geexbox is less than 10mb, and runs in RAM. This observation makes me think that it should not be difficult (i.e. it doesn't take a bloated OS to do). DamnSmallLinux is the epotime of non-bloated OSs'!

Any insight would be appreciated.
