Paul, Regarding the partition offsets; Here is information on an enhanced loopback driver that understands partition tables and allows per partition manipulation: ftp://ftp.hq.nasa.gov/pub/ig/ccd/enhanced_loopback/ Once an imaged is associated with a loop device, such as /dev/loopa, the individual partitions are referenced just like physical partitions, ie /dev/loopa1, /dev/loopa2, etc...
