here's the thing -
I want to use Knoppix with a non-compressed fs image (never mind the reasons now. I need it non-compressed, so don't get into - compressed image will give you better preformance times - discussions)
so I thought - edit the linuxrc file inside miniroot.gz, change the line that mounts the imgae with cloop to regular loop.
the thing is, the cloop module uses a syntax like - insmod cloop.o file=image, and the loop module doesn't seem to like that syntax.
also - mount -o loop says - unknown option loop. also tried using losetup, but it didn't work either.
I'm prolly doing something wrong, so could someone please tell me what is the right way for mounting a non-compressed fs image?
10x.
