Return to Question

I'm trying to adapt a tutorial into an easy to use script (http://qt-project.org/wiki/RaspberryPi_Beginners_guide).

I'm trying to reduce the need for sudo/root as much as possible (preferably, only for the final dd step).

My questions are:

1. Can I mount the ext4 file system without sudo/root privs in any way?

2. Can I mount it in a way so that users/groups on the FS are ignored in some way (so I can run make install without sudo)?

The Filesystem is currently mounted loopback from an offset of a file (i.e. -o loop,offset=62914560).

This file is the image that will be copied onto SD card used to boot the Raspberry Pi

Thanks
