I tried this method but I was unable to mount the .img file in an "img/"
subdirectory - the filesystem type was not recognised.

	# mount -o loop debian-live-sid-i386-xfce-desktop.img img
	mount: you must specify the filesystem type

I tried various options for "-t" eg "iso9660", "ext2", "msdos", but these also
caused errors. What is the filesystem type of the .img file? I thought it might
be a gzipped ext2 system, but I could not gunzip the image file either.
