1. create a link to the compressed image 2. use mydsl-load to mount the image to /opt 3. copy the content 4 use mydsl-load to unount the imagehow i can open the compressed file from windows?I don't think there is a way to open it from windows. I've seen an app that will let you access an ext2 filesystem on a partition, but not a compressed iso9660 file.
This will let you mount the KNOPPIX file from DSL:
Code Sample
mount -t iso9660 -o ro,loop=/dev/cloop2 KNOPPIX /mnt/test
But, you can only mount this file as read-only. Anyone know a way to mount it read-write? Or is the only way to modify it to copy all the files off, modify them, then create a new KNOPPIX file?
The reason I'm asking is, I think it would be cool to have a dynamically-modifyable system so I can add libraries to DSL and not have to worry about mydsl-load for everything.The iso9660 filesystem is read-only by design. I don't think there's any way to make it read-write with standard software, although there may be hacks or special tools available somewhere.Thanks for the info mik. After doing some searching, I realize now that this is a GOOD thing. I want make alsa (among other things) permanent, but having a read-only filesystem is much more secure. I think the way to do what I need is to just remaster, in which case chroot is my friend.Next Page...
