  Hate to be an ass, but welcome to *nixland.  Options for many commands
are different on different unices.  Its partially a System V vs. BSD
thing, part just differences in general.  At least Linux is mostly
consistent among the distributions.

  Something I've noticed recently though is that the losetup command
for setting up loopback devices is very different between distributions.
On the systems I've tested, Fedora, RHEL, Ubuntu and Gentoo, each
distribution has slight differences, and the versions are different.
Its almost as if each distrubtion wrote its own version of losetup.

What is losetup?
