What is MountX - Mount old Linux ext2 filesystems?

What is MountX ?
----------------

MountX allows your macintosh to mount MkLinux & linux-pmac ext2fs volumes on
the MacOS desktop. It does it's magic by implementing an external file system
following Apple's File System Manager API. The File System Manager is always
available with system 7.5 and later.

Since version 1.0d10, MountX checks for MacOS 8 and uses it to manage automatically
the Desktop Database. That means that I didn't implement this support myself and I don't
plan to do so. This also means that MountX has and will probably still have for some time
some serious limitations with MacOS < 8.0

MountX uses the e2fsprogs, which is distributed under the GNU General Public
Licence. I am currently using version 1.14. It should work with both Little and
Big endian file systems.

·· WARNING !!! ··

This is alpha quality software and is distributed for testing purposes
only. It might crash your machine and play other kind of bad tricks but it
shouldn't, or at least didn't to me at the time I released this version

Note that this version also contains a lot of debugging code and was absolutely
not optimised for performances. This will, of course, change in the future.
