two things: any mac os canīt see by now your linux disk/partitions. maybe never.
you should update for os 9.1, because earlier version are lightly buggy. if you want to see/work on/change files of any type between os 9.x and linux, make a drive/partition pc dos compatible (be warned not too big, it depends on what os you use, range from 256 mb up to 1,5 gb) a good value is 512 mb and is big enough for file transfer. put the driver for dos/fat file system into your kernel, or load it if you need it. thats it. both system can write on this drive/partition without any risk of your data, and both system can see it. thanks frank escher
