As does mine. 'MAKEDEV loop' creates them all (at least, it did on my Debian 1.1 system). > This would allow your mount to look like: > > mount -o loop=/dev/loop2 -t ext2 /path/to/file /mount/point That works too. My way (mount -o loop -t ext2 ...) make mount choose the first available loop device. If you need to know which specific loop device is being used, Dale's way is better. -- Scott Barker Linux Consultant [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.cuug.ab.ca:8001/~barkers/ (under construction) [ I try to reply to all e-mail within 3 days.

Also, are there any other good sources of .deb packages other than ftp.debian.org and its mirrors. I'm thinking of stuff too new/experimental to even put in unstable. Or maybe non-free/demo packages companies didn't want in non-free. Thanks, Greg -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
