[ale] Bootable linux distro that can access mac formatted Unix drives?

[Christopher Bergeron]

Thanks for the leads.  I should have been more specific - I'm on the 
MacIntel platform and none of my linux boxes (gasp) can recognize the

I'll check out pdisk and see if I can build it for Intel platform.

Thanks!

Kind regards,
Chris Bergeron
