Comments on: How to Backup CD/DVDs to PC and Play them From Backup http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/become-a-dolly-powered-cddvd-minimalist/ Cool Websites, Software and Internet Tips Sat, 11 Feb 2012 02:51:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Sue http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/become-a-dolly-powered-cddvd-minimalist/#comment-387676 Sue Tue, 26 May 2009 12:53:38 +0000 http://www.makeuseof.com/?p=4823#comment-387676 Hi I am totally new to all things CD etc. What I need to do is ZIP a whole lot of pictures (in different folders) then load them on a CD which then will be given to other people who need to be able to view the pictures. It would be nice to have some self starting on the CD and it is an absolute MUST that those people do NOT need any software to view the pictures - unless it can be included on the CD and doesn't need installation on their side. One more thing: due to budgetary limits the software to create those CDs would have to be free if possible. Any suggestions and help for the newbie? Thanks a lot. Sue Hi

It works really well. No more wheezing sound of spinning disc in the dvd-drive when I bootup the laptop plus one less disc to carry... :-) Thank you, thank you AND thank you;

HOWTO: Nautilus Script to mount .iso files http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=87369&highlight=mount+iso This has been an ongoing topic on the Ubuntu forum for a while. You will want to read the later posts to find the improved methods and scripts for addressing this issue. On variant that may be of particular interest is this single script that can do both the mount and unmount operations: http://rob.pectol.com/myscripts/iso-mounter.sh Another possibility is gISOmount, although I have not tried it myself. For the truly adventurous there is cdemu.org First, let me say I know CloneDrive is intended for Windows users, but I thought the following info might be of help to other Linux users reading this post.

Windows doesn't have some mkisofs equivalent? And it can't loop mount? XP takes up like 5gb and Vista much more...they couldn't get such teeny tiny commands into it? I didn't know these things were possible when I used Windows, but now that I know it, I'm surprised to find out that it can't do such simple things. :-/ This seems rather silly to me.
