Hello All, Thanks for the info on this.
I am currently running Mandrake 8.0 and have just found that it does not have a loop device. I guess that this means that I must re-compile the kernel as well. Is there any other way of getting the files out of the ISO. Perhaps to copy them to a directory somehow?
