Well, I cannot tell. search google??? it works like mount -o loop -t fs-type imagename mountpoint it enables you modify file system images. I.e. if you want to modify your initial bootdisk image in a nonstandard way, you would unpack it (it's compressed), mount it via loopback modify it, unmount, compress and rerun lilo. if you generate cd images from the shell (mkisofs) and want different dirs on your machine to be other different dirs on the CD -the call of mkisofs gets a bit complicated-. So it's nice to mount and check fs-structure before burning.
