I know there are programs that can do this, but I like doing things the hard way, it's the only way to learn.
Let me see if I get this. For images created with something such as dd, I can simlpy use
mount -o loop /path/something.iso /mnt/isoimg
Right?
Now... What if I have a .cue (with the corresponding .bin in the same folder)? I tried:
Quote:
mount -o loop /path/something.cue /mnt/isoimg/
and got
Quote:
/dev/loop0: Invalid argument
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
Assuming what the fs was, I tried:
Quote:
mount -o loop -t iso9660 /path/something.cue /mnt/isoimg
and got:
Quote:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
In dmesg, all it said was "unable to mount cd image" or something like that, and something else which I am not certain what it was. If it is relevant I will look again and print it here.
So... what am I doing wrong? Tried to mount the .bin file instead... same thing. Any ideas anyone?
By the way, if I do get this to work, to unmount it, I just have to write unmount /mnt/isoimg , right?
Thanks for reading, and for any info you might have.
