This step is actually not "mounting" the ISO file into your filesystem, but "binding" the ISO file to a loopback device. The device file can then be mounted - which was the next step anyway, but I wanted to make sure this was clarified. It helped me to understand anyway, and my old notes/wording wasn't up to scratch. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
