[ale] mounting squashfs

[John Heim]

Well, I was able to make an ISO from the directory where the squash  
file is and I was able to boot from it.

So what I'm actually ttrying to do is add the Dell Open Management  
packages to the grml CD so you can boot from the CD and configure your  
RAID. Grml has a screen reader (for the blind thatis) and the CD that  
Dell supplies does not.  As far as I know, the only way for a blind  
person to configure a RAID controller on a Dell is via grml. Grml  
doesn't have the Dell Open Managent packages, of course, but you can  
install them after boot. I'd just like to include the package on the  
grml CD.
