Hi thanks for the tips
---- You can 'apt-get install hfsplus', then use hpmount to "mount" the device, and hpcp to copy critical files off the filesystem. I'm not sure if hfsplus yet supports HFS+ writing, but for your purpose that doesn't sound like a high priority - it'll work well enough to at least get files _off_ it. ---- I have successfully mounted my pesky osx drive, and can navigate with the hfsplus utils. My only problem is in copying - I can copy one file at a time, but If I do someting like hpcopy Documents /home/jim/macbackup I get a message: hpcopy: "Documents": no error (Success) hpcopy: "hpcopy": Is a directory and the files are not transferred. Does this mean I have to copy one file at a time (triky for my entire mp3 archive :-), or do I have the syntax of the command wrong (I've tried a couple of variations on this with no success). thanks J
