MOUNT WITH KONQUEROR CD AND
DVD IMAGES
by Francesco Palmisano
Many times we need to use ISO images present on our hard disk, like CD
or DVD images.
Windows's users probably know a program called Daemon tool
or Nero image driver.
On Linux there are different programs like AcetoneISO,but
there is
a way more smart and practical to mount and unmount CD/DVD images
directly on filesystem using konqueror.
Let's begin installing, with the packages manager, some package:
fuseiso
fuseiso9660
fuseiso-utils
libfuse2
liblcms1
liblcms1-dev
kdelib
Then download from here the file
kfuseiso20070117.tar.bz2 (or above version) and save it in
/usr/src/ folder (as usual :-) ).
Open a terminal and uncompress the file:
tar xvfj kfuseiso20070117.tar.bz2
enter in kfuseiso-20070117 folder and give the commands:
./configure
make
make install
If you have some error, probably you need some develop
package: control the error output and install the missing package.
Good, at next session login you will be able to mount and unmount ISO
images with a click directly on konqueror.
IMPORTANT:
you mast include the normal user in the fuse group, using the user
manager (for example kuser).
In system folder you can see a icon like this:
Click on it and appear:
So you can choose every iso image file from your hard disk:
Then you can unmount the image with a right click:
Enjoy!
