No probs.
Please "reply all" (in general) especially if you are seeking
further feedback/ questions (of course).
Also, you can try "man losetup", if you want to do things more
manually, but "mount -o loop" should be your first port of call.
Here are some random notes (re losetup) I have from years ago:
# first create a new loop device
mknod /dev/loop/300 b 7 300
# then assign your loop file to new loop device
losetup /dev/loop/300 your_loop_file.dat
# and finally mount the loop device instead of the file
mount /dev/loop/300 /your_mount_directory/
# if you then need to unmount, use
umount /your_mount_directory/
losetup -d /dev/loop/300
Good luck
Zenaan
