Hi.
Can hal mount .iso 9660 by loop device? I can mount .iso manually but I
want to do it automatically by hal.

I don't quite get it. What would be the "trigger" to mount it?
Hal doesn't really mount anything, anyway. It's just a supposedly
simpler way to interface your hardware.

Maybe you should look into fuseiso or cdemu.

Could he use ivman?  Maybe have a config that tells it how to mount or
would it look at fstab and OP could put the options there?

I guess yes, he could use fstab. Just using the iso instead of the
node name and giving it the loop option should work, if all he
wants is to permanently mount an iso that will always live in the
same place.

ivman is for automounting, again, here, what would be the "trigger" that
will tell ivman "mount this iso that appeared here in I don't know what
place"?

The problem here is that I don't visualize too well the true aim of
the original poster. But well, there he has some ideas to try already :)

Do you want to mount it by "right-clicking" it in a graphical
environment like GNOME or KDE?

If that is what you want, in GNOME you could just drop a shell script in
~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts that does mount "$@". I don't know about KDE,
but I'm sure there is something similar.

Thanks for all! I've started with cdEMU, but it's very extreme. Does
fuseiso better? Nautilus script very interesting, but not works fine. In
my topic under hal I meant smthing authentic linux wich can mount .iso
by "right-clicking". But then I really thought that Hal can mount .iso.
Sorry for my incompetence. It's randomly.)

Hal doesn't mount anything as said. If you mean, in file browsers,
then that's very specific to the file browser that you use. For example,
mc (which is a text based browser) can open isos just like zips, rars
and many others, without need for any trick at all.

There are scripts and tricks around for nautilus (gnome) and konqueror
(kde) file browsers. But I don't know them myself.

cdemu is more like the infamous windows based Daemon Tools, they mount
the iso like if it was a regular driver, then you can enter that drive
and operate as if it was a phisical cdrom/dvd reader.

If you don't like the command like, there's a graphical frontend for
it, called gcdemu that might suit you better.
