I haven't kept up with new developments, but one thing I've wanted for a very long time is the ability to install something on a Linux desktop that will let me open a TBI of a Linux disk image. Windows had that eons ago, but Windows sucks. Today I find myself wanting the ability, sans the Windows.
Is there an Image for Linux flavor that can be installed on a desktop to do this?
No, I don't want to restore a 2+TB disk image to a "spare" drive just to look for one file I'm not even certain is there. I've always had to do that in the past and I was hoping we finally had something better.
Thanks,
Linux desktop open TBI file

seasoned_geek,
You can install IFL in your Linux distro and use TBIView. You can also use TBIView from an IFL boot disk.

Hi Brian,
From what you say, it's possible to install IFL on a Linux desktop like seasoned_geek was asking ?
I didn't think that was possible or have I been delusional all these years

Logman,
Some brief instructions to make it easy...
Download and extract ifl_en_gui_x64.zip in your Linux OS. Have your IFL and BootIt registration info handy.
Open readme.txt. Section 2 tells you how to install IFL. From "Working with the IFL Boot Disk from a Linux distribution" till "change settings, or enter/correct the product key." You don't need the custom steps at this stage.
With a 64-bit Linux OS you have to install 32-bit shared libraries...

Finally, join the disk group so IFL can see the disks...
sudo adduser loginname disk
Restart computer
It should work now.
