This deb is also in the repos (Local/main)
so “sudo apt-get install furiusisomount” is the way to go ^^

It is not in my repos. So thanks for the link!

Actually, “sudo aptitude install furiusisomount” is usually wiser. Rollback has saved my digital butt a few times.

@Rakudave: You sure it’s in the repos? I just checked and can’t see it ..

Or you can use Gmount-iso which has less clutter in it.

@Shubuntu, Furius ISO Mount allows you to automatically mount ISO, IMG, BIN, MDF and NRG Image Files. Burning support is only available for ISO and IMG, however. BTW, 64bit version is also available.

Shubuntu, did you read the article?
Furius ISO Mount Features
* Automatically Mounts ISO, IMG, BIN, MDF and NRG Image Files.
.nrg is there.

Looks good. I missed Daemon Tools since I left Windows XP, this seems to be a good replacement.

@ Shubuntu
Did you even read past the title of the article!?
“Automatically Mounts ISO, IMG, BIN, MDF and NRG Image Files.”

Does it support command-line mode? I would like to avoid GUI whenever possible…

@Man-wai Chang
I don’t think so

There’s also ISO Master:
http://www.littlesvr.ca/isomaster/
which is well packaged for most distributions.
And if all you want to do is mount a simple ISO image, skip the palaver, it’s just:
mount -o loop /path/to/file.iso /path/to/mount/point
