I've installed LinuxPPC succesfully a number of times only to trash it by
using Linux Disks to move something from MacOS to linux. I just want to
move the ppc.rpm of "hfsutils", which I've downloaded onto my Mac (can't
get linuxppc working for downloads), into linuxppc. Once it's there I can
move more stuff from MacOS using "xhfs" without problem. But I can't get
that first file over. Is there any alternative way to get something over?

Go linuxconf which you fire up form the command line. Go to access local drive.
Add the device name of the mac partition ( you can use pdisk to find it's name)
(and it is usually /dev/scsi7 or 6 whatever number it lies on or cluld be
/dev/hda5, 6, 7 etc.) and add that using hfs as the type. Give it a mount point
such as /mac and tell it to mount it. You might have to do it twice but it
works for me. When you go to that directory bang there's all your mac files. If
you can log into linux from another mac via file sharing you can put the file
you want into the linux folder and move it form there. I do this all the time.
