Daemon Tools

**sn0wflake** · 03-13-2004, 03:07 AM

In Windows there's a utility named Daemon Tools (http://www.daemon-tools.cc/portal/portal.php) that can emulate a ISO/CCD/CUE/etc. file to be a virtual CD drive. I love this feature since I don't have to switch CD's. God I'm lazy

Is there any similar utility in Knoppix or is there a special way to emulate a CD file?

yes, you can mount a iso file to a folder. I've never done it so i'm not to sure how to do it. but its probably along the lines of sudo mount [location of iso file] [location of where you want to mount it]

like I've said I nopt sure.

I just did it.

ok this is what you do. open a terminal window then type

sudo mount -o loop [place of image ex://mnt/hda1/test.iso] [place to mount image ex://home/knoppix/test]

just make sure to get rid of the "[]"

heres what mine looked like

sudo mount -o loop //mnt/cdrom1/d31.iso //home/knoppix/test

Thank you firebyrd10. Have you tested the sudo command with other CD images than ISO, like CloneCD, BIN/CUE, etc.?
I'm currently thinking deep on what Windows applications I'll miss when installing Knoppix. My next project is finding a substitute for Gamespy (http://www.gamespy.com)

How do I delete one of my posts?

No I haven't been able to try other image files being that I don't use them. Chances are they will work though.

NO I don't think YOU can delete a post but a mod can.

snowflake, it is the ount part that alows for the "virtuall CD".
Sudo is just a way to get permisions to use mount.
to be precise the -o loop part is the key to mounting image files (iso. img...).
hope I am not all wrong
