Hi, If you just want to use an ISO image, you can mount it using the -o loop option of mount to any empty directory in the filesystem. You don't need any software for it. For eg - mount -o loop xyz.iso mount-dir Regards, Aditya. -- ______________________________________________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) List Information: http://plug.org.in/mailing-list/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.
