ISO Image

An ISO image is a image of a disk that contains everything that would be written to an optical disc or disk sector.

Usage

Mounting

ISO images can be mounted like file systems. This is done with the following command.

mount -o loop <path to iso> <path to mount>

Creating an ISO Image from CUE and BIN Files

Given a .cue and a .bin file an ISO image can be created. This is done with the utility bchunk as explained by J. M. Becker on StackExchange. For this the following command is used. The file names have to be changed according to the situation.

bchunk IMAGE.bin IMAGE.cue IMAGE.iso

Linux Boot Stick

Many Linux distributions, but also Windows use boot sticks to install or repair the system. The Arch Linux entry contains a section on the creation of such a stick. An alternative to this is Ventoy which is cross-platform and can contain multiple .iso files at the same time.
