copying off an CD burned on a mac long ago...

I have some old HFS formatted burned CDs burning in toast on a classic mac. A friend needs his stuff moved off these backups onto his NAS but his modern mac cannot read these CDs. I can mount them in linux manually but the filenames have illegal characters so I cannot copy them over to anything without losing like half of them.

Not sure what the actual question is here, but if the files are there, the filesystem is mounted properly using hfsplus, and you can read the files, then any incompatible characters will be properly substituted, and the files can be copied. Your friend will just have to put some work into properly renaming then afterward.

HFS, not HFS+. The characters are not being substituted. KDE throws errors and dies. rsync and cp fail to movie all fields, giving a list of things they skipped.

Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
