mounting an .iso

[phonnic_p]

Hi linux GOD's
I seem to be having troubles with gmount (sorry couldn't find "k"mount) for a game .iso file (has two actually) I REALLY want to install with wine.
I have looked for solutions and tried three of them with no luck.
Is gmount the way to go or should I use something else?

Re: mounting an .iso

How to mount a .iso image so you can work with the files in it:


Steps:

1. Open a console window. As root (or with "sudo" prefix) make a suitable mount point:

mkdir -p /mnt/myiso

2. Change to the directory where the downloaded ISO is located, and using the Linux mount command:

mount -o loop xyz.iso /mnt/myiso

3. Change to the /mnt/myiso directory. Verify that the ISO files are there:

ls -l

Now you can use them however you want.

Thanks for the code. It worked well.
PS; If I need to use the second iso for the game would I just create a a new mount point like /mnt/myiso1 and mount the iso in there?

Re: mounting an .iso

I have had to use the same mount point in the past because the windows installer "wanted" the files in the same location.

In that case - keep a terminal open and when it says "change disks", type

umount /mnt/myiso && mount -o loop xyz2.iso /mnt/myiso

where xyx2 is the name of the second iso file
