I can't understand why you talk about an "install to a zip" or why the
"how do I install to a loopback-device"-discussion relates to this.
My intention was to install _from_ a [loopback-file located on a]
zip-disk to one of the usual locations.

I would have expected that the modification of "debian-cd" would
be the hardest part, since the original directories have to
be ripped apart. ( Perhaps I should look at this package first,
and continue the discussion next week ... (; )
