Hi,

I have a Mac that I would like to mount to my XO for additional filespace. I've tried researching the mount command but haven't found anything showing how to mount a Mac drive on Linux. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this?

Thanks,
Keith

I assume that you know how to connect between Windozes and Mac?

I would recommend trying to get Samba installed on the XO and then enabling "Windows Sharing" on your Mac (System Preferences/Sharing/Services). You will be able to treat your Mac just like a Windozes share and connect to it via Samba.

Samba appears to be in the Yum repositories...

I haven't tried it yet, but I think it is your best bet.
