[opensuse] user mount iso images with autofs
Hi, Running opensuse 10.2. I'm looking for a way to let a user mount RandomISOName at ~/RandomISOName. Preferably with the autofs system (if possible) so that no root password is required and that the mounting is done automatically after clicking an RandomISOName file in konqueror. But the problem with the autofs system is that it needs a fixed mount point (as I understood it). It is not possible to generate a mount point with autofs dynamically. Also the file name cannot be RandomISOName but has to be a fixed (always the same, like /dev/cdrom) name for autofs to work. I know I could use sudo and then mount -o loop -t iso9660 RandomISOName /mount/somewhere But this is not what I want. The idea is to click on the RandomISOName file, a script runs and the image is mounted and opened in konqueror automatically. Anyone have any ideas ? Or other options to make it work ?

Forget autofs, it's not its purpose and it definitely doesn't work that way.

Install the kio_iso package. It doesn't mount but you can get "into" the
ISO image with konqueror (or krusader), copy files out of it, etc...

I use PowerISO to do essentially the same task without needing a kio slave http://www.poweriso.com/download.htm You can use it to open and copy the data out of isos. Works for what it's intended to do. It's not integrated into any file manager or anything useful like that... but it does the job.

-`J' -- This looks more promising then kio_iso. Using kio_iso opening a file, it first has to copy it to a temp folder before opening it. That is a little annoying. I will give it a try as soon as I can get it to compile (or find an rpm). At the moment I get make errors (not good..) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
