Hi! Try not using the /dev/loop0. If I remember correctly, the default for loop is to look up a free loop-device. So, try... mount -t iso9660 /mnt/packages-x86-2005.0.iso /mnt/iso -o loop >From the man-page: "If no explicit loop device is mentioned (but just an option `-o loop' is given), the

Re: [gentoo-user] mount

Hi there! I think it'd be CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP, yes. But if you set it to "y", it's compiled into kernel and isn't a module. If you want it to be a module, set it to "m". In menuconfig, it's Device Drivers -> Block Devices -> Loopback device support. At least in 6.11.x. Regards, /M On 4/14/05

[gentoo-user] poedit build failing

poedit used to work for me, but some dependency upgrade seems to have broken my current install, so I tried rebuilding it. Now it won't build. There is a bug (#88619) that suggests rebuilding wxGTK without the gtk USE-flag. This is apparently out of date, as the current wxGTK build has these flags:
