I haven't tried this in Linux since I don't have the scsi hardware. It
is
possible to create hfs partitions for Kegs then in Kegs make a P8 format
on one of them. I recall someone who mentioned being able to read these
on their GS but that was a while back. I'm not sure if they used P8 or
hfs
only. There's a pretty decent chance it would work though and if you
have
the hardware, Linux and Kegs, it might be worth a try.

This may not be the same thing but I have created an hfs cd in Linux
which
worked for my GS.
