mounting iso images

[Amebaid]

hey there i was trying to find a way to simple mounting and unmountig iso images and so far i found this link
http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Deskt...age-2216.shtml

but after downloading and installing this msg keeps coming whenever i try to mount iso file



can this be fixed or there is a better application for that or code ??

Command Line is your friend . It's actually really easy to mount an iso. Just do something like this, as root

# mkdir A_DIRECTORY
# mount -t iso9660 -o loop /PATH/TO/ISO /PATH/TO/A_DIRECTORY

• -t iso9660 - tells mount what type of filesystem it is
• -o loop - means don't mount an actual device but instead a file on your HD

If you want to have this iso mount permanently you can add a line to your /etc/fstab file like so (right spacing is important):

/PATH/TO/ISO /PATH/TO/A_DIRECTORY iso9660 loop,users,ro,noauto 0 0

Then all you need to do to mount it is:

$ mount /PATH/TO/A_DIRECTORY

If you still have questions, don't hesitate to ask.

thanks . i knew the method of command line but my study deals with so many iso and nrg images

for example i might mount 4 iso images in one hour so it's for sure not good to use the command line i was looking for something easier to do that and that application does that

well i didn't try it but the comment in softepedia told so and it was good

i hope there is some kink of application for that to make the hob easier
that is why i mentioned the coding in the last place

thanks hope you can help

The program might not like the fact that the file name has two dots in it. Change the filename to Foxit.iso. It might think the ending is .PDF instead of .iso
