@Ace – you can wrap any filename that has spaces with “double quotes” and the OS will treat it all as one filename. When I grab a url from the web, for example, that I’m going to download via command line with curl or wget, I always wrap my pasted content with quotes since things like ampersands really mess with unix shells.

You can also precede a space with a backslash, so /media/Data/Pc\ Isos/lala.iso will also work, but the quotes are usually easier.

Linux measures up, and linux doesn’t measure up, depending on who’s using it

it doesn’t “open like a folder,” /mnt/test would = say “E:” (or whatever your cd is on windows)

/ is just the start of your root partition, but if you look at your actual cdrom, the /cdrom(or whatever you have) is just a link to /mnt/cdrom, so there’s not really a difference between /mnt/cdrom and /mnt/test, not anymore than there is between e:(real cd drive) and f:(daemon tools fake cd drive)

it doesnt because they have made a daemon tools lite for linux yet.
i “mounted an .iso and it opened like a folder not like a cd-rom. i am trying to like linux but it just does NOT measure up.
