automounting cd/dvd image

[vocalstud69]

Is there a way to automount a cd/dvd *.iso without having to load in the cli the code for it? Like, right click on the file and click 'Mount' kind of easy? I was thinking of a shell script, but I don't think that would work. I actually don't care, but my sister has issues with this because she can't remember the commands because I told her that she could back up all he movies into an .iso image and mount them on linux, which is the con I used to get her to stop using Vista. Anybody have similar annoyances, and did anybody figure out a good way to do it.

My sister actually wants a choice in the menu that shows up on Ubuntu 8.04 when you right click on a file, one of the options is 'Mount CD/DVD Image', and it would automount to a folder.

Help!

a script should work and in nautilus u can add it to the scripts folder..I forgot where it is, i use kubuntu.

Yeah, but I'm an idiot and don't remember anything about shell scripts. Know where I can find a tutorial on it?

Also, would that give me the option to 'Mount CD/DVD Image' in the right click menu?

[nowshining]

it should be a right menu - scripts - and as for Mound CD/DVD image thing, it will show as whatevre you named it..

for bash just add this @ the top:

 #!/bin/bash

then add the command like u do in the terminal for a basic script.

Thanks. I'll try it when I get home tonight, since I'm on a windows box at work.

use this program
http://sourceforge.net/projects/acetoneiso2/

just select the iso and it mounts it automatically like a cdrom drive (virtual cdrom)
