How to mount a cd image

[vesrin]

Hello everyone.

I need to mount a cd .iso image, but i just realized i have no idea how i can do that on linux. Can you please recommend an application for this? Or, if i don't need an application, explain the process to me?

This is Gmountiso, a PyGTK GUI to mount your cd images

Gmount-iso is a small tool written using PyGTK and Glade. It allows you to
easily mount your cd images. This is a frontend to the 'mount -o loop -t
iso9660 foo.iso /mountpoint' command

Thanks, that worked! Will this also work for .bin and .cue files?

Hmm - I have't tried, but there is a workaround:

bchunk

CD image format conversion from bin/cue to iso/cdr

The bchunk package contains a UNIX/C rewrite of the BinChunker program.
BinChunker converts a CD image in a .bin/.cue format (sometimes .raw/.cue) into
a set of .iso and .cdr/.wav tracks. The .bin/.cue format is used by some
non-UNIX CD-writing software, but is not supported on most other CD-writing
programs.
