Re: mountable DVD image

Yes, that's it. Right now I don't have a DVD burner, but I do have a DVD
drive. I would like to create image backups and mount those images as if
they were physically a DVD. I do this with CDs using iso image files and
the mount ISO service menu (KDE).

Now I am even more confused. So you want to create a DVD iso? Just use
the same software are you use for you CD iso's. The only difference I
realy noticed is that a CD is smaller then a DVD.

Mounting then can be done by `sudo mount -o loop dvd.iso /mount/point`

Or am I missing the obvious here?
