ISO and img.bin - need to convert

[Bo_Shi]

I've spent an obsene amount of time downloading an img.bin file (LinuxPPC) and I've got it on a windows/linux machine - EasyCD Creator won't recognize the img.bin as a CD image, is there a program to convert between the two? I've heard about cd2image, but can't find it anywhere.

Try renaming it :-)

I usually find images are all in 'ISO' format, regardless of the extension. At least, with boot floppy images, some are called '.bin', some '.flp', some '.img', etc -- but they're all the same thing, and you just use 'dd' as normal.

If the file is not ISO format you can try to use the bin2iso program for linux. It can be found at:

Also there are programs available (CD writing programs) that do recognize the .bin format. If I remember correctly CDR, Fireburner, and Nero all recognize the .bin format. All of them are windoze programs though.

This may not work but with and iso you can make a dir called /mnt/iso for example and then
mount -o loop -t iso9660 /home/user/downloaded.iso /mnt/iso
This lets me access the files in the iso easily maybe this can be done with this bin?
Then you can copy them over or make an iso?
