.bootstrap - Crack and Hacking – Safe with most medications

Mounting iso-files in Linux is quite straight forward and simple e.g. using the mounter function in Ubuntu straight from the context menu or by using a command line like this: mount -o loop image.iso /mnt.

Anyway mounting bin/cue image files is not that straight forward as they’ll need conversion to iso before mounting, however the process is quite simple, but it need a small application called bchunk. The bchunk package contains a UNIX/C rewrite of the BinChunker program. BinChunker converts a CD image in a .bin/.cue format (sometimes .raw/.cue) into a set of .iso and .cdr/.wav tracks. The .bin/.cue format is used by some non-UNIX CD-writing software (read crap windows software), but is not supported on most other CD-writing programs.

$ sudo aptitude install bchunk

In order to convert a bin/cue image set:

$ bchunk image.bin image.cue image.iso

Then to mount the iso image using this command:
mount -o loop image.iso /mnt
