Read Mac formatted disks
How do I get Linux to read the files on a floppy or ZIP formatted disk? Sometimes my clients send me computer artwork files in JPEG, Encapsulated Post Script or Bitmap formats. Im looking for a way to read their Mac formatted disks, open the files with a graphics editor like GIMP or Killustrator. Can this be done. Please advise.
Thank you for your help!

rbr, Thanks for the link, but I need some more help.
The documentation said that the 2.2 and 2.3 kernel have HFS file system support built in. My kernel is 2.2.9-19mdk. How do I access the disk?
My zip drive is hdd1
/mnt/hdd1/ -hfs? will this work? Do I have to load a module first? If so, how do I do it?

Thanks "flats",
It worked!
The only glitch was that I got an error that said "wrong file system, aren't you trying to mount an extended partition?" So I retyped the mount command:
"mount -t hfs /dev/hdd /mnt/zip" (I was going to specify the partition info later).
When I navigated to the /mnt/zip directory, there were my files!
Again, Thanks very much.
