Mounting an .iso Image Without Burning it to CD


You can mount an .iso image without burning it to CD.



First create a directory:



$ sudo mkdir /media/isoimage





Load the kernel 'loop' module (it may already be loaded):



$ sudo modprobe loop



Now mount the iso file:



$ sudo file_name.iso /media/isoimage -t iso9660 -o loop



The files are accessible on /media/isoimage directory. The image can be umounted with:



$ sudo umount /media/isoimage
