late reply: mounting a stacker volumn may be a bad idea. but moutning archives (zip, rar, ...), nrg, cue+bin if not ccd are not. who would know whether they have interest in linux in the future? They don't get popular in WIndow$ without a reason. Net Llama! wrote: Final winner of what? a booby

Ya know, there was a time when windoze-3.x was popular. There was a time when windoze-9x was popular. Popularity conttests don't prove quality, they prove quantity. What does an interest in linux have to do with using these half baked schemes? On Mon, 2 Dec 2002, M.W. Chang wrote: late

Final winner of what? a booby prize? Its all proprietary windoze garbage. I'll repeat, if you love this crap so much, then just use windoze. Stop trying to pollute a good OS with bad ideas. On Wed, 27 Nov 2002, m.w.chang wrote: a cd burning software for Window$. last version was 4.0.

we all knew how to mount an iso cd image file. i wonder whether it's possible to mount other formats: nrg and cue+bin under linux. how about tar.gz, tar, rpm, rar and zip? something like winrar 3.0 for Win$ is doing, but via a linux amount point. -- Swiftly. Silently. Invisibly. .~.in

yes, that's how we did it with iso. but there is no filesystem for rar, rpm, or nrg (nero burning rom) and cue+bin (cdrwin?). is there project for those formats? This thing reminded me of an old DOS product called Stacker. It merely mounted the stacker engine over a loopback device and created a

still not comparable to a loopback mount (like Stacker). I wonder whether it's possble to mount Stacker vol on ilnux. we only need the stacker filesystem filter. :) but there is no filesystem for rar, rpm, or nrg (nero burning rom) and cue+bin (cdrwin?). is there project for those formats?
