http://phorolinux.com/mount-iso-imag...mount-iso.html

$ tar zxvf gmountiso_0.4-0ubuntu2.tar.gz
$ cd gmountiso-0.4/
# python Gmount-iso.py

So actually no install or anything else,
it is a "ready to run application".

From the site you used to install:

HI,
sbehal@mepis1:~$ cd Documents
sbehal@mepis1:~/Documents$ cd gmountiso-0.4/
sbehal@mepis1:~/Documents/gmountiso-0.4$ # python Gmount-iso.py
sbehal@mepis1:~/Documents/gmountiso-0.4$
nothing happens.I could not find Gmount running.Pl. help

Well, $ indicates a user prompt, # = a root prompt.

Try : python --version
to check the python command.

python Gmount-iso.py
will open the application, but cannot mount
anything, you need to be root for that.

So either :
1) su
... password
2) python Gmount-iso.py

or
sudo python Gmount-iso.py
will work.
.....

Hi follwing error msg recieved:
sbehal@mepis1:~/Documents/gmountiso-0.4$ su
Password:
root@mepis1:/home/sbehal/Documents/gmountiso-0.4# python Gmount-iso.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "Gmount-iso.py", line 29, in <module>

root@mepis1:/home/sbehal/Documents/gmountiso-0.4# sudo python Gmount-iso.py
Traceback (most recent call last):

Probably

1) apt-cache search python-gtk
2) sudo apt-get install python-gtk2

Also required : python-glade2
3) sudo apt-get install python-glade2

.....

thanks
 

thanks as per ur suggestion installed those 2 files and now gmount application opens.I could choose iso image but could not mount the image.
after pressing mount button there is an error msg "An error occured
command not found" pl. help

You are right, it isn't working.

Except for drawing the GUI, the purpose of
the application is very simple :
1) Mount the .iso
2) Show the files in a file browser.

.....

I prefer this method :
a) cd <to location with iso ( and a new folder ) >
b) su
c) mount -o loop <file.iso> <new-folder> && firefox <path-to-new-folder>
... or you can just do the first part
mount -o loop <file.iso> <new-folder>
... and then watch the files in your preferred file manager.

My test example :
# mount -o loop livecd_SL53_gnome_2009-03-23.iso 9000/ \
&& firefox351 9000/
