It would be very easy, if you have room on your disk, to initialize a partition as ext2. Then mount both that partition and the HFS partition in the installer environment (you'll need mount -t hfs for the one) and use cp -R to copy everything to the linux partition. Then, to remove the metadata, if you mounted the new partition at /mnt and your top level folder is 'debian', use rm -r `find /mnt/debian/ -name '.resource'` rm -r `find /mnt/debian/ -name '.finderinfo'` The hfs partition won't let you remove them in place, AFAIK. You have to copy them first. -- *------v--------- Installing Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 --------v------* | <http://www.debian.org/releases/woody/installmanual> | | debian-imac (potato): <http://debian-imac.sourceforge.net> | | Chris Tillman [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | May the Source be with you | *----------------------------------------------------------------*
