Easily Mount ISO Images with a Well-Designed API

GMount ISO is a virtual drive for Linux written using PyGTK and Glade. It is a frontend to the mount command that allows you to convert CDs and unencrypted DVDs into virtual drives that run directly on your hard drive, getting rid of the need for physical discs and your CD-ROM drive. The access rate for the virtual disc is about 200 times faster than that of a physical CD.

GMount ISO is available from the repositories. You can search for "gmountiso" in Synaptic, or you can run the following command:

sudo apt-get install gmountiso
