# 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](/wiki/linux/disk-management.md#mounting).
|
|
This is done with the following command.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
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](https://github.com/extramaster/bchunk) as explained by
|
|
[J. M. Becker on StackExchange](https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/29671/how-can-i-convert-a-cue-bin-with-cdr-tracks-image-into-a-single-iso-file).
|
|
For this the following command is used.
|
|
The file names have to be changed according to the situation.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
bchunk IMAGE.bin IMAGE.cue IMAGE.iso
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Linux Boot Stick
|
|
|
|
Many [Linux distributions](/wiki/linux.md), but also [Windows](/wiki/windows.md) use boot sticks
|
|
to install or repair the system.
|
|
The [Arch Linux entry](/wiki/linux/arch-linux.md) contains a section on the
|
|
[creation of such a stick](/wiki/linux/arch-linux.md#create-installation-medium).
|
|
An alternative to this is [Ventoy](/wiki/ventoy.md) which is cross-platform and can contain
|
|
multiple `.iso` files at the same time.
