Terrific ~ thanks a ton :)
, The article says :-
______________
With one simple mount command:
mount /tmp/suse-7.0.iso /mnt/iso -t iso9660 -o
ro,loop=/dev/loop0
That tells Linux to mount the image file /tmp/suse-7.0.iso at the
location /mnt/iso. It contains an iso9660 filesystem of course ("-t
iso9660"). The image is mounted readonly and I use the first loopback
device (/dev/loop0) to mount it through.
It's really that simple. Now if I do an "ls /mnt/iso" I get this:
TRANS.TBL boot/ disks/ floppy/ lib/ opt/ root/ sbin/
tmp/ var/
bin/ dev/ etc/ home/ mnt/ proc/ rr_moved/ suse/
usr/
............................................
What would the next step be ??
~ maybe, to make the boot & modules 1.44 floppies,
then, boot from the floppies,
next, mount the iso image again, and finally, to point the Install
program to the iso image directory mounted on /dev/loop ??
again, many thanks
best rgds
