Hi,

Is there any way I can mount individual partitions from a losetup'd
file? I can cfdisk /dev/loop and see the partitions there, with names
like /dev/loop0p1 - but there doesn't seem to be a way to get at those
individual partitions as seperate block devices so I can mount them.

The file is version6_fullinstall.img, which can be obtained from
http://jailbait.sourceforge.net/ - it's a mini Linux distribution designed
to fit in a 16MB Sandisk, but I want to put it on a 120MB hard drive.

Another way to do it would be to split the image file into seperate files
for each partition - how would I locate the offsets into the file for each
partition?

Thanks,

Jon.
