[06-06-07 14:05]: Is there any way to mount an iso file as a user - sort of like mounting a usb drive?
I looked and cannot find any right-click option in Konqueror to mount an iso file. Is this not possible?
I also expected to be able to mount ISO's with right-clicking. Sadly, it's not that easy in SUSE.
I found this http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=11577 but it has to be run as root.
google *is* your friend: http://www.google.com/search?q=linux+mount+iso
Tha query doesn't tell anything particular about openSUSE. You are probably wondering how it's done in openSUSE (that's why you write here, right?). The above query gives you the "hard" way of having to go to shell and issue the command which probably works in most distributions:
mount -o loop -t iso9660 filename.iso /mnt/iso
And of course, you have to do that as root. I also really wish that users could mount ISO's by just right clicking on the file - specially on openSUSE which tries to be one of the easiest to use distributions.
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.
