Mounting / Extracting .bin and .cue Files In Ubuntu

1. Install bchunk which will conert the bin and cue file to an iso
   sudo apt-get install bchunk
2. Convert the files to iso using the following syntax:
   bchunk [image.bin] [image.cue] [output name]
   Where image.bin is the .bin file, image.cue is the .cue file and the output name is the iso file name which will be generated. If multiple iso are required a nn will be appended e.g myImage01.iso
   Example command:
   bchunk ubuntu.bin ubuntu.cue ubuntu
3. Mount the iso files from the last step. It will appear as if it was a CD or an attached drive:
   sudo mount -o loop output name.iso /media/cdrom
   The above will mount the image to the cdrom directory.
4. When done unmount the drive:
   sudo umount /media/cdrom
