Stefan,
I used Supermount to allow the CDs to be mounted. It worked ok for
most files, but never was satisfactory for Mac executables.
The reason was that the date/time information that Linux offered to the
Mac clients, was almost always out-of-order, and the software
would refuse to work.
Good Luck, and let me know if it works. It was a long time ago, that I
used netatalk to serve CDs to Macs, I hope the date/time
information has been corrected, kernel 1.3.
