Egbert, If you mount the squashfs file on a loop device you can copy the contents of that mounted directory to your root partition. Then you will need to run grub-install on that partition and edit the boot/grub/menu.lst file to match your environment.
mount /live_media/casper/filesystem.squashfs /mnt/squashfs -t squashfs -o loop cp -pR /mnt/squashfs/* $rootfsdir/ grub-install --no-floppy --root-directory=$rootfsdir /dev/$INSTALL_DRIVE Cheers, Robert.
