["Alejandro Lieber" <dos AT lieber.com.ar>]

I began using Basic Linux 3 from a loop.

After eliminating all X files and adding MC, Spanish keyboard and 
MUTT, I trasferred all files to an ext2 HD partition.

But I kept the loop as a backup.
I also wanted to keep the easy way of backuping the loop to 
a single file in diskettes. 

To copy files from HD <---> LOOP I did the following:

1)- In the HD filesystem I added the /loop subdirectory.

-----------
mkdir /loop
-----------

2)- I run the following batch file: mloop

-------------------------------------
losetup /dev/loop0 /dos/baslin/fs.img
mount /dev/loop0 /loop
--------------------------------------

Now, from the command line or MC I can access 
simultaniously the HD and the LOOP.
