This reminds me of a doubt I have:
Can one simply mount, say...
/mnt/rec/FC2-i386-isos/FC2-i386-disc1.iso
/var/ftp/pub/fc2/disc1 auto defaults,loop=/dev/loop0 0 0
/mnt/rec/FC2-i386-isos/FC2-i386-disc2.iso
/var/ftp/pub/fc2/disc2 auto defaults,loop=/dev/loop1 0 0
/mnt/rec/FC2-i386-isos/FC2-i386-disc3.iso
/var/ftp/pub/fc2/disc3 auto defaults,loop=/dev/loop2 0 0
/mnt/rec/FC2-i386-isos/FC2-i386-disc4.iso
/var/ftp/pub/fc2/disc4 auto defaults,loop=/dev/loop3 0 0
and then point askmethod to ftp://server/pub/fc2/ ?
Is this possible, or something like it?
