Marcus, Sort of... The makeimage.sh script sets up various loopback devices to make the entire "disk" available. We then run fdisk, grub, etc. You can then access the first partition with an offset of 32256 bytes. Like this: losetup /dev/loop0 astlinux.img fdisk -l /dev/loop0 (should show partition table) losetup -d /dev/loop0 losetup -o 32256 /dev/loop0 astlinux.img mount -o ro -t ext2 /dev/loop0 /mnt/image For the lazy, those last two steps can be replaced with "mount -t ext2 -o ro,loop,offset=32256 astlinux.img /mnt/image" -- Kristian Kielhofner ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
