I'm showing that I still have a lot to learn about Linux.  But I'm wondering why
I would want to use the loop device rather than just mounting the CD ISO images as
seperate file systems?  My understanding of the loop device is that it can map a
file (like ISO) onto it's own virtual device.  Are we just talking semantics here?
