Mounting Partitions *inside* a dd Image

| Does anyone know a trick to mount the partitions inside the image?

Read "THE LOOP DEVICE" section in mount(8):

       This type of mount knows about four options, namely loop, offset, size-
       limit  and  encryption,  that are really options to losetup(8).  (These
       options can be used in addition to those  specific  to  the  filesystem
       type.)

So you can mount a lump within your image.

How do you find out which offset and size to use?  I guess fdisk can
help (as Ted suggested).

Recommendation: mount read-only.
