viewing raspbian

i thought i noticed the installed ™raspbian™ is a tar file. maybe was a disk image file. is there a way i can look inside it from rool without damaging anything. maybe launch something. i ask myself why want to and i think it mostly for i can read manpages 😋. is there an ™X™ for ™rool™? would someone need a second computer to do that? remember i was installing ™nettle™ for some reason. still i had goal of compiling my own ™rool™ before i got too far theory c.

I’m not entirely sure what you want to accomplish, but if it is a tar-file and you have !Untar installed (available from Packman, for instance), you can probably set the filetype to tar and open it in Filer, provided that the Filer has seen !Untar. I haven’t tested this though.

The standard HardDisk4 image contains a read only version of SparkFS which will open tar files IIRC (I use the full version)

yeah well the ™raspbian™ card is partitioned i guess if that is where i saw it. i only see the hardware boot type directory looking from ™rool™. ’’config’’ ™bootcode™ etc there is a ’’kernel’’ but i think that is for startup not the ™raspbian™ one.

when i said x i meant x windows if there was a client for risc os. but just a text terminal could be useful for exploring the linux computer or disk.

reverse topic if i could look at ™risc_os™ adfs(?) drives from my non risc machine that could be nice but think would have to rebuild to do that.

You might need to rebuild the kernel with ADFS support enabled.
