First, I'd like to thank Shawn Wallbridge for the .PDF files. Great stuff. My question is for OS/X users. I won a Knoppix DVD door prize but since I don't have a DVD burner, I took it to my friend who has a PowerPC OS/X Panther system. To my surprise, his system failed to read the Knoppix DVD, so could not burn a copy of it. We think OS/X can't deal with the Linux file system, probably ext3. How do you get OS/X to recognize the ext3 file system and be able to read from it? Of course my assumption that a Knoppix DVD uses ext3 might be completely wrong. In that case, what file system are we dealing with and, again, how do I get OS/X to read it? I'm not too keen on buying a DVD burner myself since next year Blue-Ray and HD DVD will have arrived and made it instantly obsolete. I once had a programming instructor who refused to purchase his own computer for this very reason. I used to think he was nuts. Now I'm not so sure.
