Mounting isos

How Do I... Mounting isos

If you download an iso image and want to explore its contents, or need to mount an image to play a game, you'll want to know how to mount an iso image from your filesystem. This is simple in Linux and doesn't require any of the hassle involved with downloading daemon tools or Alcohol 120% in Windows. Before issuing this command, you'll probably want to remove any medium from your physical drive. To mount an iso located at /home/gr0x0rd/files/gr0x-Y/images/broodwar01.iso to the cd-rom drive,

$ sudo mount -o loop files/gr0x-Y/images/broodwar01.iso /mnt/cdrom

When you are finished, you can easily release the iso by issuing

$ sudo umount /mnt/cdrom

Mounting bin/cue

This works by first converting the image to an iso. For this you will need the bchunk utility.

$ bchunk image.bin image.cue output.iso
