What must I do to use a loop device with Debian?
(Will cd /dev; mknod loopx b 7 x for x=0,...,7 be enough?)
Should I have to recompile the kernel?
If yes, will Debian 1.2 support loop device directly?
Dunno if Debian supports the loop device directly (I still kept my old
Slackware habit of rolling my own kernel, and I don't use kernel-package), but
there might be a loop.o module somewhere under /lib/modules.
Once the loop module is in the kernel, and once you've created the loop devices
with the correct mknod, using the loop device is as easy as:
mount -t msdos /somewhere/hdimage /mnt -o loop=/dev/loop0
