Yes, HFS, that's it. A search for "HFS", "rock ridge", and "joliet" turns
up several GUI tools for making hybrid CD filesystems such as the ones at
www.cdeverywhere.com and www.cdr.com. I've personally only used the command
line tool mkhybrid, which apparently is tough to track down on the internet.
Has anyone had any success with the GUI tools?
