hi all

i finally had time to install ubuntu on my powerbook. It was actually easy.

However, I would like to be able to access my OSX partition from Ubuntu. 
This is what i did I formated the Ubuntu partition as Unix and left some 
megas as free space to later install Ubuntu. I did it with the OSX disk 
utility. Then I installed OSX on the first partittion and later Ubuntu 
on the free space. everything when fine and I get dualboot where i can 
select to either enter Ubuntu or OSX. I guess the Ubuntu partition is in 
ext3 format.

Is there any way i could do this? or maybe some way to have another 
partition that both systems can access where i have my data? Maybe 
formating as ext3 and then installing the ext3 extension to OSX?. I 
already asked about this issues but didnt get an answer that i could 
use. It would be nice if someone could point some solution.

And also, my external hardrive is on HFS format and ubunto cannot read 
it, how should i format it to be able to use it from both systems?

thanks
