Although you need to make a file of the desired size first so you have something to losetup. eg for 10mb file system, dd if=/dev/zero of=file bs=1k count=10240 losetup /dev/loop0 file mke2fs /dev/loop0 mount -t ext2 /dev/loop0 /mnt Hamish -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
