how to mount a loop?

[Dave_Bechtel]

--Yes, but the KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX file is a *compressed* loop. You need to do an "insmod" of something (I forget which) and give that file as an argument.

Update - see this thread: http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtop...ghlight=insmod

Mount says there is no loop device and the kernel doesn't know how to do it.

Rebooting solved that problem. However mount still wants to know the filesystem type and iso9660 doesn't work.

What I'm trying to do, while running off the harddisk, is to mount the KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX file that lives on the CD.

Thanks in advance for any advice.
