How do you add HFS+ file system support?

Got my AA1 yesterday... very slick little machine.

I have a USB hdd with HFS+ (OSX's filesystem) that I'd like to connect. I tried mounting it with:

Code:

mount -t hfsplus /sdb temp

where temp is a folder I created, but I get an unknown file system error. Sure enough, I ran:

Code:

cat /proc/filesystems

and HFS+ isn't on the list.

Anyone know what the easiest way add HFS+ support to Linpus? I'm not afraid of the terminal, but I have only rudimentary knowledge of Linux. Here's a HowTo for gentoo:

However, Linpus appears to be based on Fedora8. From the command:

Code:

uname -r

I see that our laptop has kernel 2.6.23.9lw, which reportedly has HFS+ support. However, it appears to have been disabled or removed on the AA1. Am I looking at recompiling the kernel?

 

Hello there... i have the same problem... is there any solution without compiling a new kernel? i tryed the hfsplusutils and tools... but nothing worked (hmount thinks that my device isnt a hfsplus volume -.-)
