(Just passing throgh, so please CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED]) As a matter of course, I keep the Woody ISO9660 images on my hard disk. Back when I set up this machine, I couldn't work out how to add respositories on loopback filesystems to apt, so in order to use them I had to `extract' the images to the hard disk.
So basically what I want is for APT, using /etc/fstab, to transparently (un)mount the loopback images, so I can work directly with .iso images. (I can't mount them all at once (at boot), because I run out of lo devices.) Is there a way to trick e.g. apt-cdrom into doing this? -trent ps: do file:// uri's get cached in /var/lib/apt/cache?
