[TriLUG] [OT] Macintosh repair

[Neil L. Roeth]

I recently copied data from HFS formatted floppies using the HFS driver.  It
only seemed to be available with the 2.2 kernel, unless I overlooked something
in the 2.4 kernel config.

Once I built the 2.2 kernel with the HFS driver, and mounted the floppy with
that, I was able to copy the files with ease.  The only remaining issue was
that the text files used a carriage return to end lines, which I had to
replace with carriage return/line feed for the Windows user who wanted the
files.
