Heh, you're probably right. It did strike me as rather strange. That's
why I use '.img' or '.image'.
I can imagine some serious frustration if the image also came out in the
650MB range (as root FSes on my machines often do). Hmm... or would
Linux just mount the ext2 CD read only? I must try that...
