Mounting .bin/.cue file

Ok, your not actually going to mount those files, but it helps getting to that. It’s also something I never knew. I never really tried to mount a .bin or .cue file, so I always thought it was just

sudo mount -t iso9660 -o loop filename.bin /mnt 

but today I found out it’s not that easy.
Luckly, it’s just one extra little step.

sudo apt-get install bchunk  ## or sudo yum install bchunk ?
bchunk filename.bin filename.cue filename.iso

Then all thats left is to mount the iso:

sudo mount -o loop filename.iso /mnt

bchunk is a small little app specially meant for bin/cue conversion to iso/cdr
