Mounting the .img loopback is easy. You just need to mount with an offset to skip the boot sector. /sbin/fdisk -ul binary.img Observe the sector size, e.g. Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Observe the "Start" for the first partition. Multiply start x sector size. This is your offset. mount -o loop,offset=512 binary.img binary Ben -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-live-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
