In Windows land, either Alchol-soft (120%) or Nero allowed me to mount an ISO, and thus browse the files of that ISO, or whatever. Is there a Linux software equivalent?

Many thanks in advance,

Many thanks! I knew Linux was cool for a reason.


Again, my thanks!

You could try this application. It is designed specifically for Ubuntu, installs via a deb installer, has a simple to use GUI and mounts ISO, IMG, BIN, MDF and NRG Images, and doesn't require a password to mount images.

Here you go:
Once you do this you will be able to access the /mount/point directory (or whatever other directory you mounted the iso on) as if it were another directory with files on your system.

EDIT: to mount the iso each time you boot:
In your /etc/fstab file add the following line:
The # in /dev/loop# is a number from 0 to 7. That's how many loop devices are made by default so you can mount up to 8 iso images. If you want more, create more loop devices.

In Linux or Ubuntu u can use the terminal to mount a iso as CD-rom with these commands:
GMount-Iso you can also mount a iso.

GIsoMount you can mount, browse and burn isos.

CDemu you can mount isos CD/DVD drive emulator for Linux.
