Mounting Clonezilla images with FUSE

I love to make backups with Clonezilla. But often, I'll back up my system, wipe my Linux partition and try another distro—only to realize that I need access to just one file from the old installation. For example, maybe I made an interesting change to my .zshrc or Samba configuration, which I want to re-use on the new system.

The obvious solutions aren't my favorites. It's easy to restore an image to a spare disk, but it takes a long time, and requires a spare disk I'm willing to wipe. I [could extract an entire image][extract_image], but that also takes lots of time and space. Wouldn't it be nice to just look inside my compressed Clonezilla image, just like I can do with a zip file or squashfs archive?

It turns out it's possible, with clever use of [user-space filesystems][fuse]!

= LinuxFromScratch using Mac OS X =

Linux From Scratch is a fun way to learn about Linux, but it expects you to already have Linux running. [http://trac.cross-lfs.org Cross-compiling] is already supported but OS X is a little weird--so here are some hints for bootstrapping LFS from OS X. I've only tried this on 32-bit PPC, I have no idea how well or badly it would work on G5 or Intel chips.

Generally, you can follow the [http://cross-lfs.org/view/1.0.0rc4/ppc/ Cross-LFS book], I only refer to areas where changes are needed.

== Chapter 2 ==
=== Partitioning ===

To perform the partitioning, you'll probably want to use a Linux rescue CD. Gentoo's PPC CD has a version of parted that can even resize existing HFS+ partitions non-destructively, I think Debian's does too. Using Disk Utility or a commercial tool like iPartition is an option, but I'm not certain they can create the special partition types Apple_Bootstrap and Apple_UNIX_SVR2.
