Hi Eli,

There's no such thing as a silly question.

The easiest way is by adding the morphix repository (see
morphix.org/debian) to your system. Then, apt-get update && apt-get
install morphing-tools and use module-extractor to extract the
base/morphix file (see module-extractor --help for details).

You can also use the cloop utilities directly: apt-get install cloop-utils
and use extract_compressed_fs to extract the base/morphix file. The result
is exactly the same.

For further details on morphing, see the howto's on
http://www.morphix.org/doc/how_tos/docbook_html and the command-line
man-pages on http://www.morphix.org/doc/how_tos/all_man_pages/html

cheers,

Alex
