Success! I mounted both of my HFS+ drives.
The icons on the pinboard don't show the mounted volumes. Is there a way that they can display on the pinboard and is there a way that from now on when I boot into Puppy Linux on my iMac that my HFS+ volumes will auto mount or do I always have to go to the terminal and type in the command to mount them.
Do I have to do something with the fstab file?
How to mount external Mac hd?
Great! Now how about some closure?

Pinboard? Sure. Like the ones used in ~/.pup_event, they probably need icons.
The modules themselves you should be able to add via BootManager, no?
The 'mount' process? Think about it.. happens during boot, doesn't it?

Seriously though, I'm sure there's more to it than I know ATM..

I just deleted my Crunchbang partition on my iMac and now I have an empty 40GB partition along with a 2.2GB swap partition.
This is what I hate and love about Linux. So many choices. I want to install a distro that is fast and light, so first one that comes to mind aside from Puppy is Lubuntu. Maybe I will install Lubuntu and then a frugal install of Precise Puppy. After I install Lubuntu 12.04 I will upgrade it to maybe the new 3.10.5 kernel so that I can use Audio Line in capability.
I found out that the kernel in 12.04 as well s Puppy 528 does not support the audio card in my iMac. At least Prcise has the 3.9 kernel.
Tough decisions!!
The plus side with Precise is that it is a frugal install which is super flexible and light. It does everything I need it to do.
If you had my iMac (a 2006 24" model), what distro would you install for dual booting or am I over thinking this?
