Mounting and modifying a partition in linux

[Andrew]

Hi,

I've been able to mount a clonezilla partition based on this.

but I can't see anything for taring that partition up again so we can use those modifications.

As far as I'm aware there's a checksum to be created too.

Can someone point me to how I would go about modifying an image ? I just need to make a one line change and dont want to use a postinstall script etc etc.

Thanks,

I do not understand your question. Could you please describe that in detail?
Do you want to mount an image then copy some files? Or?

Hi Steven,

Firstly I love clonezilla so thanks for your efforts.

I have many images but sometimes I need to modify 1 or 2 files in the image. I currently use a post install script to make these minor modifications but I'd really like to be able to mount the image, modify, add or remove any files I need to and then unmount the image and use it again. Can I do that ? Is there a supported process or script ?

Ultimately I'd like to do away without using a post install script.

Thanks,

Andrew

Thanks for your feedback.
The image is compressed and split by default, you have uncompress and concatenate them to a file. Then you can mount the file using "-o loop" then modifiy it.
Hence I believe it's easier to do that in a post script.
