[plug] Hackintosh - update and linux questions

[Ari]

Updates - I'm trying to follow these tutorials on getting my EeePC 1000H 
running with Snow Leopard:

However, it appears to require access to a computer already running OSX. 
There has to be  ways to do these things using linux, right? I've 
installed hsfplus-tools on my FC14 file server and formatted an 8GB usb 
stick as HSF+. I have the Snow Leopard DVD imaged to an .iso file to be 
transferred to the USB stick. But there are other 'things' done with the 
Mac 'disk utility' program that I'm hoping for some help identifying and 
finding linux alternatives. Can anyone give me some tips?

TIA,

Ari
