Ah just discovered one thing from google. If I use the "diskcopy" utility I can mount a raw disk image ie the iso and that seems like it will burn a raw image. It juts took the right words in google. > I used jigdo-easy to create this iso and a loopback device is required > to mount the iso to update it later on.

When diskcopy is used it mounts the iamge as: /dev/disk2 on /Volumes/Debian 3.0 r0 alpha Bin-1_NONUS (local, read-only so I will be able to point jigdo at that directory :-) > Questions are: > 1. has anyone burnt an iso for debian under MacOSX and how? > 2. how do I make a loopback dev for MacOSX?
