Copyright issues
Paladin9:
Is it true that Apple copyrighted there disk format for floppys and cds so no one else can support it? Someone told me this who thinks this it the reason that Windoze does not read mac formatted disks. Can someone explain this becuase I have trouble believing it. (I also found that linux can not read mac formatted disks!... At least Red Hat can not.)

That's odd, RH 8 can mount my HFS+ partition with the aid of a little utilitie whose name I forgot grrr...
In any case, there are 3rd party apps for windoze that mount HFS disks, so I don't think it's a copyright issue. I just think M$ is a bastard.

RH8 can't mount many things out of the box, like NTFS filesystems. It requires a kernel recompile I think. As for HFS+ I have no idea since I've never even used OS X.

What the hell is HR8? Is HFS the unix disk format that osx can use??

RH8 = Red Hat Linux 8.0
