As so often, the persons 'up' in the hierarch decide things the people |
57 |
'down' the hierarchy would keep their fingers off - but they will not |
58 |
be asked. |

I am 'down' the hierarchy and want to unpack that |
61 |
archive/image/whatever. |
62 |
|
63 |
Currently I am recompiling my kernel to support squashfs as it seems |
64 |
that this image is one of that images. |
65 |
If so, mounting it as an image and copying the files out of the |
66 |
mountpoints directory may work. |
67 |
|
68 |
Fingers crossed... |
