Mounting ISO images in Linux

Want to get one file out of a big .ISO file? Or maybe you just want to see the contents of an ISO file. You can mount ISO file directly in Linux. Simple!

mount -o loop /path/to/file.iso /path/to/mount/point

Perfect, always wondered how to do this :)

One thing you maybe forgot to say was that the user needs to be root (or have sudo permissions) to carry out the listed command.

And when I'm done with it how do I unmount it? sorry for the probably noob question.. Thanks in advance

manysounds February 28th 2010

When done: umount /place/where/mounted

all done

Note that this will mount read only. If you want to be able to edit the ISO image you will have to use a short workaround as described here: http://www.docplanet.org/linux/mount-an-iso-image-in-linux/
