Dr Zaius Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 That depends on what you mean by "running" it, if you want to access an ISO image like you would a cdrom in your drive then you can mount it with an application like Daemon Tools: http://www.daemon-tools.cc However if your talking about a Live/Bootable CD such as Knoppix then you will need to run it in a virtual machine that supports mounting ISO images. One virtual machine application that is user friendly and I know for sure is capable of booting an ISO image is VMware: http://www.vmware.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GHRYGGZ Posted June 22, 2006 Author Share Posted June 22, 2006 ok i got VMware but now it asks for a virtual machine .vmx file Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 If I remeber correctly, you can't mount ISOs in VMware player. You need VMWear workstation for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Zaius Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 the forums can be clensed? Yeah it's typically done by loading up PHPMyAdmin and then handing the keyboard to a rabid baboon. The baboon then mashes the keyboard and with his superior intelligence he manages to drop only those SQL tables and rows which he feels are of poor quality. EDIT: ok i got VMware but now it asks for a virtual machine .vmx file If I remeber correctly, you can't mount ISOs in VMware player. You need VMWear workstation for that. If you only have VMWare Player then you can try this to boot ISOs: http://www.hackaday.com/entry/1234000153064739/ EDIT AGAIN: Irongeek also has a video demonstrating booting LiveCDs in VMware player: http://www.irongeek.com/i.php?page=videos/vmwareplayerlivecd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooper Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Donno about Solaris, but on Linux you can use the loopback device to mount a file onto the filesystem, so long as that file contains a filesystem. For an ISO, the command would be: mount -o loop -t iso9660 My_Beloved.iso /mnt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
temperseed Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 with enought ram and a new partition you can install any OS under VM workstation... If its larger than 650MB you will need an CDROM emulator like daemon tools Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 with enought ram and a new partition you can install any OS under VM workstation... I'm fairly certain you can only run x86 operating systems in VMware Workstation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fairly certain you can only run x86 operating systems in VMware Workstation. Well you can run 64 bit operating systems in a VM if you have a 64 bit cpu, but I guess 64 bit is an instruction set extension as opposed to another architecture.

Shaun Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Well 64-bit isn't a architecture or extension at all, it's just 64 bits. I assume you mean AMD64/EM64T (as opposed to IA-64 or some other 64-bit architecture) in which case it still counts as x86 (in fact AMD64 was originally called x86-64).

Ermmm nope... there is a patched OSX DvD out there that you could run under vm ware... its the same one you use to install it to your x86 pc. And ofcourse you can run any distro of linux...
