I think I mentioned elsewhere that Linux can only read hfs+ and

Not true. yum install hfsplusutils
I had no problems mounting hfs+ volumes rw under ydl4.
This thread discusses a problem that may arise, but it doesn't
destroy data:

Also, http://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2fsx/ provides support for
ext2 volumes under 10.3
and prior version of OS X (tiger support is still coming).
If Rob wants to use a GUI to partition, I'd use Disk Utility and
mount it under linux using
the hfsplusutils. Does YDL4 have a similar GUI tool? If it does, it
might be best to use
neither hfs+ or ext2. IMO, the most tested fs to use for cross-
platform support is fat32 (vfat).
The tools for working with it are very robust under both OS X and PPC
Linux. The hfs+ or ext2 utils
I mention in the previous paragraphs have had nowhere near the same
amount of usage.
As with everything, let the nuances of the situation dictate the
solution. ymmv. g'luck Rob.
