Help with squashfs please

[tr]

You can't use ash in the original minirt.gz to mount your squashfs image. Reason being is that it doesn't support the "-o loop" command needed. You'll have to replace with busybox or similar that has the -o loop command supported. I use busybox-1.01, but I believe 1.1.0 is out.

Firmsy:
Would you please be so kind to explain this little bit better?

I'm a little bit confused of this squasfs. I'm using initramfs and also that don't accept loopback image but cpio image. So I can't mount it like initrd:

# gunzip minirt.gz
# mount -o loop minirt /mount_point

but:

# gunzip minirt.gz
# cpio -i < minirt

(unpacks in the same direcortory where unzipped minirt is)

Kanotix seems to use squasfs and has busybox in minirt's /static directory. Also ash is there as a symlink to busybox.

I would like to test squasfs, too, but what are the steps to do? I have also compiled squasfs as a module in my kernel.
