Depends on the kernel you are using. In 2.1.98+ HFS (a Mac filesystem)
is part of the kernel - just reconfigure it. With 2.0 you have to:

- Find a home site for HFS (start from http://www.linux.org
  'Projects')

- Build HFS as a module (just 'make')

- Install it

Yet another, user-level solution would be to use a package called
something like hfs-tools (although I may mistake with the name). It's
basically a collection of programs allowing you to access a Mac
filesystem. No kernel stuff involved. You may find a reference to the
package from the HFS homepage (see above)
