(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Hi to all!

I was wander if someone could make alcohol virtual drive work in puppy.Or some other virtual cd software,so I can mount mu mdf,iso and other discs.

Thank you!

To mount an .iso, just click on it in rox. I haven't heard of the other ones you mention.

The mdf its the format of alcohol, if my win*** memory its still fine.
As disciple worte, don't worry about the isos...
Did you tried to run Alcohol under Wine?

I need an virtual drive in Linux,that is the problem.I tried to install Alcohol through wine,and all I saw was "platform not supported".

hi diamond,

what do you need the virtual drive for? as there maybe another solution.

There is CDemu, which is exactly what you are asking for. But it requires python and things and includes a kernel module which will need to be recompiled against any new kernel that you get if you upgrade puppy.

And I can't think of any reason why you would need a drive emulator. Are you sure you do?

Is there a specific reason why you can't just make .iso files with Pburn or something, and click on them to mount them?
If you have some mdf files, there is a program to convert these to .iso files, which we could package for you...

This command works with both ISO and MDF images.

Just mounting the .mdf image as a iso9660 image didn’t work for me. I’ve used mdf2iso to convert it first.

And read all the other comments there too...

Also check out Acetoneiso http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 936#258936
I'm not sure if the fuseiso module would be kernel specific - I don't think it is an actual kernel module.

I personally would like "proof" that it would even work -that means a minimum of 57.15% or "100 proof" using the original definition or 114.30 using today's standard.
