 Posted: Thu Jan 20, 2005 4:16 pm Post subject: newb question about cd-images |
 |
|
1. exist a program to view/add/delete/extract content to cd-images? at least for isos?
2. can i mount cd-images like i could with daemon-tools/alcohol?
edit: well, lazy questions. 
i just have seen kiso and cdemu. are those good choices? |

I always mount isos on a loop device (you need support for this in the kernel.)
| Code: | | mount -o loop file.iso /pathto/mountpoint |
And I use mkisofs to create iso files. To add I guess I would mount the image, cp it to somewhere, then add the stuff and then create a new iso image..... |

Both can actually be accomplished with the same method: loop mounting.
| Code: | mkdir /mnt/iso
mount -t iso9660 -o loop /path/to/image/file /mnt/iso
|
and the contents will be accessible in the normal manner.
You always have to specify the filesystem type with loop mounting; mount can't guess it like it normally does.

Hmmm I once tried to edit a mounted iso. It would only mount it as read only. I thought the filesystem is just not capable of incoorperating changes on the fly. Never tested it since then. Would be nice if it can be done indeed  |
