Mac OSX guru needed

[Condon Thomas A KPWA]

Folks,

I've got a new Ti Powerbook with a triple boot system of Mac OSX, Yellow Dog
Linux and Gentoo.  Under the normal Mac windows you can't even find the
linux partitions.  But I'd like to be able to mount them and access the
files.  Sure, I could reboot into the Linux system, copy the files to the
Mac partition, then reboot into Mac.  But that kind of thing is not what
computers are for -- making work harder.

Since OSX is built on top of a linux distro I thought this would be easy,
just open a terminal, find the partition and mount it.  Not so.  The
partition software is different (no fsck, only hfsck and ?dfsck?, and
neither man page is particularly helpful on the partition *types* it will
deal with) and the partitions are not even named the same.

The Apple lists are *very* quiet on the subject of partitions.

So, does anyone out there have a clue for the clueless about accessing linux
partitions from within OSX?  Thanks for any help you can give.
