I have several disk images, and I'd like to grab files off of them, but I'm not sure how. I made these images by booting up a linux boot CD (it seemed easier than a BSD cd at the time, and the results should be the same), and make a backup as such: dd if=/dev/sda | bzip2 -z9 | split [forgot the args, basically 1GB files that are bsd-backup-(date)-??] anyway, without uncompressing them back to disk (it's the same slice/partitions as I have now), what's the easiest way to get read access to these contents of the files in these backups? Thanks, -Jim Stapleton
