I'm thinking about trying to install those on my 9.1 system tomorrow... ;)
I'll be listening :-)
I did it shortly after, I couldn't resist ;P

cloop.ko is there, but I could not locate the source file. Might be in another package. We'll see when 9.2 comes out. ;)
I'll do that. :-)
Let's try the 9.1 LiveCD:
# mount -o loop LiveCD-9.1-01.iso mnt # cd mnt # ls . .. boot.catalog bootlogo cloop.img initrd.gz isolinux.bin isolinux.cfg media.1 txtmsg vmlinuz # insmod /lib/modules/2.6.8-16-default/extra/cloop.ko file=cloop.img # mount -r -t iso9660 /dev/cloop0 ../mnt-01/ # ls ../mnt-01/ . .. .CD.real bin boot dev etc home lib media mnt opt proc root sbin srv sys tmp usr var #
Yup. Works.
You mean you mounted the livecd on your modified system, and it read, so it means that it can read compressed images, is that so? Good!
Yes.
However... are those "loops" writeable? Because read only CDs have existed for some time (zisofs/RockRidge).
Well, I wouldn't spoil all the fun for you, would I? I've left a bit of testing to do for you. ;)) If it doesn't work, we'll probably need a kind of cloop-utils package. I'll try to create that rpm tomorrow if it is needed. Cheers, Leen
