Apple and linux question



This is kind of an interesting question... I want to bring some
software from the net over to my GS. My sole connection to the net is
through a cable-modem on a 486 running RedHat linux 5.1. I have no spare
serial ports at the moment on the 486 so I can't connect the machines
via a null modem cable. Here was what I was thinking...

	Download software to the 486. Since there is supposed to be a way to
mount Mac floppies I would save the files to a 1.44 floppy. From there I
would bring it over to a Mac and copy the files to an 800k floppy which
would be brought over to the GS with the HFS FST. Inefficient but a lot
faster than dialup. ;-)

	Here are the questions (some of which should be posted in other
areas)... The only part I don't understand is how to mount a Mac disk on
a linux machine. If I could mount an 800k floppy this may cut out the
Mac from the process. Is anybody working on a ProDOS filetype for linux?
Can someone come up with an easier process? Should I have checked the
FAQs first? ;-)
