As does mine. 'MAKEDEV loop' creates them all (at least, it did on my Debian
1.1 system).

That works too. My way (mount -o loop -t ext2 ...) make mount choose the first
available loop device. If you need to know which specific loop device is being
used, Dale's way is better.

With the discusion of Wine, I was wondering if a Wine package was in the
works?
Also, are there any other good sources of .deb packages other than
ftp.debian.org and its mirrors. I'm thinking of stuff too
new/experimental to even put in unstable. Or maybe non-free/demo packages
companies didn't want in non-free.
Thanks,
Greg
