[RFC] make extlinux work without mount the filesystem
...syslinux" command does not need special permissions (other than write), but it needs "something" else instead (e.g. "mtools" for FAT), and it can use the "--offset" parameter. This could mean, to either: _ modify the current installers; or, _ add a new (./bios/mke2/) {sys,ext}linux installer (the path and file name could be something else; I am focusing on the generic idea).

[RFC] make extlinux work without mount the filesystem
...y, the mount command requires the root privilage, we may not have the root privilage when we work on a shared server. And in embedded linux development, usually, we need deploy the system on an file block (not a real device partition), for example: $ dd if=/dev/zero of=test.img count=100k bs=1k $ mke2fs -t ext3 -F test.img It would be great to have something like: (suppose we have a "-d/--device" option) $ extlinux -i -d test.img then the bootsector will be installed without mount the test.img I had added something similar to e2fsprogs' mke2fs: (on master branch) http://git.kern...
