I wanted to build a vm of bt4 on my netbook external drive, but with limited (3) usb ports and needing two for each of the drive and the external cd/dvd drives, I am looking into mounting the iso on the local file system to install into a vitrualbox machine.
Upon downloading the iso, I checked the context menu of the file, and there is an entry labeled _Open with Archive Mounter_ but selecting this action doesn't seem to yield the results I was looking for (unless i'm missing something).
I did find this article - http://www.ubuntugeek.com/mount-and-unmout-iso-images-without-burning-them.html on mounting through Nautilus, but was wondering -
Has anyone tried these and found them useful?
Am I missing something about the Archive Mounter?
Thanks for the feedback.
Regards
Jack

You don't need to take any special action to use an iso with Virtualbox.
You just tell it to use the iso file instead of a CD.

Thanks for the reply. Yep. I figured that out after trying to use a mounted iso... Unmounting and going through some vbox text gave me the rest of what I was after - thanks.
10.04 running on a Samsung N220 with virtual box machines on an external 1Tb SATA3 - not a bad portable setup so far...

Sorry they changed the web page at ubuntugeek and I could not find
anything mounting an .iso.

If you go to the link and get the 404 error, go to the search box (upper right) and type mount iso image. Oddly enough, one of the first hits will be the same page. Selecting that link brought up the page again for me. The scripts they mention are anchors within the text of that page content and essentially do the same thing that the instructions for the loop portion of the article communicate.
