Ok, first of all – sorry for my lack of activity. I was quite busy with exams and such so my Compiz guide is probably yet to come. Now I’ll give you some other tips. A couple of guys asked me here and there – what software do you use to mount ISO images under Linux? Answer is simple – mount.
Let say you have new_distro.iso image file and you want to have it mounted at /media/iso. Here is what you need to do. Fire up Konsole or any other terminal emulator and type:
sudo mount -o loop new_distro.iso /media/iso
Now let me explain everything.
sudo – gives you super user access (used in *buntu distros, if you have other distro, simply log into as root and forget the sudo command)
mount – should be self explanatory, the app you use to mount the image
-o loop – this option performs the association of the file with the loop device, I don’t feel like explaining, nor do I understand it 100 percent
new_distro.iso – your image
/media/iso – mountpoint
Again, I want you all to remember that in case you are not using Kubuntu, Ubuntu, etc do not use the sudo command. Simply log in as root and perform the string without sudo.
Well, that pretty much explains it all. Until next time!
