Stryker:
When did this go from linux to beos? Eh...

linux:

i dont understand what u are trying to do. Do you want an application to think the iso is a cdrom drive? If so, you can do this as root:

rm -f /dev/cdrom
mv /home/me/myfile.iso /dev/cdrom
mount -o loop /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

and to undo it:

umount /mnt/cdrom
mv /dev/cdrom /home/me/myfile.iso
ln -s /dev/hdc /dev/cdrom

This way, applications get the actual cd, not just the files inside it (some verify data in other areas, like some windows games do for verification).

Is this what you meant?

Just out of curiosity, why is it easier to use a hard drive than just a regular cd?

Because you don't have to search for disks all the time and it's faster from the hard disk.
