Alchohol 120% Linux equivelent?

benlm54 · 07-23-2005, 07:08 PM

Does anybody know of a program for Linux that works like Alchohol 120% for windows? In case you are unfamiliar with Alcholol it is a program used to mount CD/DVD image files to a virtual drive. Very handy. It would be nice to have one for Linux.

That works. Thanks!

Is there anyway to do it from KDE? Like double clicking on the icon?
What do I need to type to "eject" the iso?

Code:

umount /mnt/cdrom

should unmount the ISO. (Equivalent to Ejecting)

Thanks duffmckagan

This looks like the KDE solution

A quick look and search probably would have found this in the Wiki: http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/...ware#Utilities

That looks good. The LQ Wiki, I think is not a famous thing --or else it is overlooked (maybe). Now that I know that it has such a lot of content and stuff, I have started exploring it.
