mounting a .img file

is there anyway to mount a .img file under linux, i know there are tools like deamontools and A120 but those are not useable under linux and i really dont want to waste a dual layer dvd just to view my old hard drive backup img unless i have to

Try

#mkdir /tmp/disc 
#mount -o loop ~dir/cd.iso /tmp/disc

Re: mounting a .img file

assuming it's an ISO...

mount -o loop /path/to/img /path/to/mountpoint

if it's not an iso, there's a pile of tools to convert it to iso, or there may be a fuse filesystem.
