Well, that sounds like a mistake. Well, there's always FIPS on an
x86 Linux Distro to help make room for a _real_ OS on your PC. :-)
Sorry for the cruelty, but your choice is to either burn the images
so that W2K can read them or to install a more flexible OS. While
you'll lose the "pretty" HercGUI tool (which I must admit is very
pretty) there are other reasons to run Linux under such a system.
Though I would suspect it'd be confusing to run Linux 390 on top of
hercules on top of another Linux system; Just make sure that you've
properly set up /etc/issue (and issue.net) to remind you of which is
which... :-)

Any of the standard windows cd burners should work with .iso files For runtime stuff if there is a tool with hercules these days to turn a filesystem image into a disk image then do that and mount the disk image with mount -t iso9660 in Hercules
Re: ISO FILES
Ken, one way would be to mount them via the loopback device: mount -o loop /myiso.iso /mnt/directory-where-I-want-to-access-the-files-under-the-iso I hope you like my mount point name.

Re: ISO FILES
Acquire FDISK. Partition your hard drive and install a Linux system. You can the choose to boot either W2K or Linux. Hercules will run on either. Failing that get VMWare so you can run Linux under W2K or W2K under Linux (but that would affect Hercules performance). > -Original Message- > Mount commands would be good if i had a unix platform, I have > win 2000 pro > with Hercules running a guest .
Re: ISO FILES
OK, i have vmware, and a linux guest under vmware. so what do i do with the .iso files ?? do they get mounted someplace /mnt/tmp/filename.iso confused and stupid

A .iso file is a block for block image of the filesystem for a CD-ROM. On linux you can feed one to cdwrite/xcdroast/etc and burn a CD You can mount the file with a loopback mount losetup /dev/loop0 archive.iso mount /dev/loop0 /somewhere ... umount /somewhere losetup -d /dev/loop0 Alan -- With trembling hands he unfurled the ancient cracked parchment, this was the place, it had to be.
