RAR And CD Images Help

AFI_Flame · 10-26-2004, 01:22 AM

First, how do I unzip a rar file from inside linux? I've done tar.gz's and tar.bz2's but not a rar. Second, is there any way to mount a cd image to a virtual drive without actually burning it like Alcohol 120 does for Windows?

You can d'l rar for linux here
To mount an iso use:

Code:

mount -o loop -t iso9660 file.iso /mnt/iso

Alright I'll check out that rar for linux unless anyone knows anything better. The way you said to mount images only works for iso. What about bin and cue?

There is no way to mount bin/cue images directly. You can use bchunk or similar progs to convert those images to .iso and mount them using the loopback device.
