Mount an ISO file

On January 25, 2008, in Linux, Tech Notes, by Brad

You can mount a CD or DVD image in Linux so that it appears like a regularly inserted disc. Use the following command:

prompt# mount Fedora-8-x86_64-DVD.iso /mnt/isofile/ -o ro,loop=/dev/loop0

Ensure that the /mnt/isofile directory exists before trying to mount the ISO to that location.
