Default GMount ISO : Virtual Drive for Linux.


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...

Convert your CDs and unprotected DVDs into “virtual CDs” — disc images that run directly on your hard drive, replacing physical discs and saving wear and tear on your CD-ROM drive. Share virtual CDs over a network, and enjoy access rates up to 200 times faster than physical CDs, boosting the performance of PC games, photo CDs, and disc-based applications. Play disc-based applications directly on your hard drive..


Installation : -

Open terminal From Main Menu - > Accessories -> Terminal and type the following commands ..
Code:
sudo apt-get install gmountiso
You can also install it from Synaptic Manager and from Add/Remove Programs..

Default Re: GMount ISO : Virtual Drive for Linux.

Nice tip.
And for those of you using Open SuSE, use KISO. You will have to add the KDE repositories to YaST for that.
