Drive emulator for ubuntu

Hi. I'm running ubuntu 8.10. Is there a drive emulation program for this OS? Something like Daemon Tools in Windows?

Thanks in advance.

 

Check out CDemu...

Add the following to your /etc/apt/sources.list

Code:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/cdemu/ubuntu intrepid main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/cdemu/ubuntu intrepid main

Then run:

Code:

apt-get update
apt-get install cdemu-daemon cdemu-client gcdemu

It may have further dependencies, but you should be able to figure it out :

AcetoneISO has plenty of features, and it should be readily available (at least in Arch, I'm not sure about Ubuntu). It can pretty much handle, mount, and convert any disc image. It can also download YouTube videos, and other funky things like that.

These "tools" are usually just frontends to GNU core programs. There's nothing stopping you from using them directly if you care for it.

 

You don't need any program for mounting ISO's. Just run the following as root (if you don't know how to get root access, tell me the distro you're using and I might be able to help you):

Code:

mkdir /mnt/iso

to create a mount point (you only need to do this the first time you mount an ISO), then

Code:

mount -o loop disc.iso /mnt/iso

and that's it! If you want to unmount, just run

Code:

umount /mnt/iso

Note that it says ``umount'', and not ``unmount'' in the command.

If you have a bin/cue image, then you will have to use bchunk to convert it to the ISO format:

Code:

bchunk disc.bin disc.cue disc

The ISO will be named disc01.iso, IIRC. Just change the last word in the command to modify the resulting ISO's file name.
