Hi James, The 'loop=/dev/loop0' is the loopback device that the ISO image will be mounted from, just like /deb/hda1 for a partition. You are using lookback arn't you? the '1 1' at the end tells mount what priority the mounts have. The root partition should be '0 0', which means mount first, unmount last. Followed by real partitions at '1 1' and lookbacks to an ISO on at partition should be '2 2' but '1 1' works for me. Gary On Wednesday 18 July 2001 2:49 pm, James & Cybèle wrote:

Thanks Gary, I'll give it a try. Yes I can mount the image manually.

I understand 'iso9660 and 'ro' but what is loop=/dev/loop0 1 ????

Thanks
