Hi,

I'm trying to look at the contents of a single file that I've got archived
in a "dump" of my entire /usr partition. Is there any way of mounting the
dump file as a filesystem so I can take a look at that file without goign
to the hassle of using restore?

Performance is not an issue, I don't really care how fast it is, just can
it be done?

Thanks,
Mark
