Intel and Linux Support


Intel has a whole site to supporting their graphics in Linux: http://www.intellinuxgraphics.org

They also have a huge set of documents available to help the Linux driver developer: http://www.intellinuxgraphics.org/documentation.html

They are support by X.org, Mesa, Linux Kernel, Linux DRM, and BSD DRM. They don't have any funky licensing, but relay on the MIT and GPL licensing: http://www.intellinuxgraphics.org/license.html

I am very impressed.

Mounting ISO

mount /path/to/image.iso /mnt/mountpoint -t iso9660 -o loop=/dev/loop

Testing with XP ISO.

sudo mount ./WinXP_sp2.iso /mnt/xpiso -t iso9660 -o loop=/dev/loop0

The above code works.

I need to trick the system into thinking that it is accessing the CD for installing linux.
