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?

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?

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.

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