Thanks, for that.

I actually already grabbed it from http://packages.debian.net/sid/mount/armel/download

I just unarchived it and grabbed the losetup binary, and it worked like a champ :-)

of course, now my 770 craps out trying to bunzip/untar.....

So, I untarred everything on my mac, and plugged into USB and am copying the files over....then, I will remount the image and mv them from the card (not in the image) to the image.

Then I will play with XFCE for a few days, and decide I don't need it. What a way to waste time :-)
