Is there any software like Alcohol 50% on Linux?
 
Hellow..

I want to use Virtual CD Images (like .img , .iso ... ... )

Is there any software like Alcohol on Linux???

you want to be able to burn iso/img? is that what you're asking?

if so k3b is what u want

This may be of help to you. It isnt a GUI front end like alcohol, but it allows you to mount iso images (assuming you are using kde).

Hope that helps.

I am not sure what Alcohol does, but you can mount .img and .iso files that reside on your hard disc using the loopback device. You need this built in your kernel either statically or as a module.

Then it is as simple as:
Code:
mount -o loop -t iso9660 filename.iso /mnt/iso

Alcohol is really more for emulating CD protection on mounted ISOs - however, I don't see that as being too useful for Linux since the copy protection would be for a Win32 program :). As the above posts states, the mounting side of Alcohol can be done by using loopback.

Just out of interest, why "Alcohol 50%", isn't it "Alcohol 120%" :)?

bulliver when i try to mount a .bin with your above example (i left out the iso portion of the command as it is a bin not iso) i get an error.

how would you mount a .bin file?

Alcohol 50% (60%?) is the demo version :)

The iso9660 is a standard file sytem type of CDs, don't leave it out.

ahh kewl thanks. ill put that back in and see the differance.

Lleb_KCir 11-08-2004 03:36 PM
Code:
media:~# mount -o loop -t iso9660 /home/ray/tmp/test/test1.bin /home/ray/tmp/bin/
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0,
      or too many mounted file systems
now that is a smbmount that im tring to do this from... should i just copy the directory over to my debian box and try again?

Lleb_KCir 11-08-2004 06:40 PM
Code:
media:/home/ray/movies# ls
test
media:/home/ray/movies# mount -t iso9660 -o loop /home/ray/movies/test/
READ ME.txt              test1.cue  testp2.cue
test1.bin  test2.bin
media:/home/ray/movies# mount -t iso9660 -o loop /home/ray/movies/test/test1.bin /home/ray/tmp/bin/
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0,
      or too many mounted file systems
ok that is after moving the file to my local HD on my debian box.

next step?

I was just about to ask this same quesiton. I just am beginning to be converted from WinXP and purchased Alcohol 50% a few weeks ago. (FYI 50% is just for mounting images, 120% has a burning ROM as well). Kinda miffed I wasted 30 bucks just before starting to use Linux :( Bad timing.

do a search for "bin2iso" on google. I use this to convert my old bin/cue files to an iso image, then mount them

have not tried that, but just did a bchunk to convert my bin/cue to iso. i can mount the cue, but not the bin file.... so im still a bit fubar.

I would say "Mount Image" from KDE-Look would be the best replacement ..
