MacOS

If you though text files are all the same, you are wrong. Mac text file lines end with a carriage return (CR, ASCII 13), UNIX text file lines with a line feed (LF, ACII 10) and Microsoft Windows text file lines end with a combination of 2 characters: CR followed by LF. From Mac to Unix you convert with this command line: tr '\015' '\012' < in_file > out_file

fdisk is not really able to read the partition table that the Macintosh installer writes. To figure out what you have you can e.g. use the Yast partitoning tool. mount -t ufs -o ufstype=openstep -o ro /dev/sda3 /media/misc
