Re: Daemon tools equivalent for MAC

Welcome. First thing to learn is that is Mac, short for Macintosh. It's not an acronym like PC.

As for image mounting, much of that is already built into the OS. What type of images (specifically) are you looking to mount?

A lot of OS X software can be found by looking at http://www.versiontracker.com/macosx/

Again, welcome.

If you're referring to VersionTracker, then it depends on what software you want to download. Some will be commercial software, in which case you'll be downloading a demo. If you're downloading freeware, it's well, free.

You can mount an ISO image in MAC by double clicking the ISO image or issuing the following command:
hdiutil mount image.iso

The above command is to be issued at the command prompt in a terminal window. It is Unix. Know your audience, this is a newbie on Mac!

Re: Daemon tools equivalent for MAC
Macs already have mounting software already built in. All you usually have to do is open the file and the OS will mount it for you. But if it doesn't you can use Disk Utility and mount or unmount from there. This application also lets you burn and do many other things.

Re: Daemon tools equivalent for MAC
Mac and PC users both have equal potential to be idiots. I think thesnail has proved himself. I use Mac, Linux, and PC - so there's no reason for animosity. How illogical. How stupid. A completely unnecessary conflict.
