> Can Linux mount the image after it is written?

You asked twice, so I will answer in this thread. :-) There are two easy 
ways to peek inside an image.

The first is workon4.sh which Chris Buechler has at 
http://chrisbuechler.com/index.php?id=20  I have not used this myself, but 
have heard that it works.

The other is m0n0image from Michael Iedema, which is written in php, so you 
will need cli php installed.  It can be found at 
http://devtales.michael-i.com/2005/04/01/m0n0image-updated/  I have used 
this in FreeBSD 4.11-p13, and it is quite nice.

Good luck,

                        Lee
