hello jasper
errm I had trouble using your instuctions and mounting the image with
[root@dexterFC5t1 ~]# mount -v -t ext2 -o offset=32256
SDA-256MB-FEDORA-CORE-5-BASED-i386-LIVEUSB.IMG tmp
gave an error but was mounted with the help of file
[root@dexterFC5t1 ~]# file -s SDA-256MB-FEDORA-CORE-5-BASED-i386-LIVEUSB.IMG
SDA-256MB-FEDORA-CORE-5-BASED-i386-LIVEUSB.IMG: x86 boot sector; partition 1: ID=0x83,
starthead 1, startsector 61, 493795 sectors, extended partition table (last)\011, code
offset 0x48
startsector 61 and 61*512=31232
[root@dexterFC5t1 ~]# mount -v -t ext2 -o offset=31232
SDA-256MB-FEDORA-CORE-5-BASED-i386-LIVEUSB.IMG tmp
mount: going to use the loop device /dev/loop0
SDA-256MB-FEDORA-CORE-5-BASED-i386-LIVEUSB.IMG on /root/tmp type ext2
(rw,loop=/dev/loop0,offset=31232)
did it great smashing super :-) ...dex
Doh! Yes, 61 sectors, not 63.
