Re: [PLUG] Mounting an OS X DVD on Linux

[Edward Smola <meanderis@mac.com>]

I'm guessing it doesn't like the discs. OS X does this hybrid disc  
thing with burnt media.  Gives you less capacity but should show up as  
hfs+ on osx and iso9660 on whatever else.  Resource forks and original  
filename limits were the original reason for this but now it is a  
nifty feature that let's ppl only show what they want per os. Software  
cd/DVD's can show just the installer or files for windows or os x.
