Yes, thank you patrick for the link - yet I had tried both that and with the words "suse" and "opensuse" which is how I got the link I originally posted. Oh, and Google ISN'T my friend. If he/she/it were, I would have been informed during the IPO to purchase many shares as they would quadruple in value. Instead I thought it too risky. I'm not sure this is an option even in Vista or MacOS. I'd just like it. I have an ISO of a DVD I made, and would just like to mount it for the purposes of viewing the DVD. I also have an ISO of files and just want to mount - get the files then unmount. TIA! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
