Support #787
Updated by Daniel Curtis about 8 years ago
An ISO image is an archive file (a.k.a. disk image) of an optical disc using a conventional ISO format that is supported by many software vendors. ISO image files typically have a file extension of @.iso@; occasionally, you might come across a disc image in the @.bin@ format.
While there are ways to use BIN/CUE’s in Linux, it is much easier to convert them to the standard @.iso@ format.
h2. bchunk (BinChunker)
CD image format conversion from @.bin@/@.cue@ to @.iso@. The bchunk package contains a UNIX/C rewrite of the BinChunker program. BinChunker converts a CD image in a @.bin@/@.cue@ format into a @.iso@ file.
The @.bin@/@.cue@ format is used by some non-UNIX CD-writing software, but is not supported on most other CD-writing programs.
* Install bchunk:
<pre>
sudo pacman -S bchunk
</pre>
* Convert the @.bin@ and @.cue@ files into a @.iso@ file:
<pre>
bchunk disc_image.bin disk_image.cue disc_image
</pre>
h2. Mount .iso
* make a cdrom directory:
<pre>
mkdir /media/cdrom
</pre>
* Mount the .iso disc image:
<pre>
sudo mount -o loop disc_image.iso /media/cdrom
</pre>
