[CALUG] reading live CD files ??..

As an aside, anyone,

I see the live CD has a bit of dir structure
and the real files seem to be stuffed into some big .img file.
Just curious-have no immediate need...but
is there some utility or someway in browser ( say, Nautilus)
to easily breakout files in the .img file ???

( maybe in the same way a .zip file can be "unrolled" ?)


also, (I'm full of Q's today )
would a dd of the CD => hard disk file, if it had worked, 
have resulted in a file that md5sum or gpg could have dealt with ?
(perhaps if named with suffix .iso)


thx,

Walt......
