Mounting an ISO Image as a Filesystem --

This is great if you don't have the DVD hardware, but, need to get at the data.

The following show an example of mounting the Fedora core 2 as a file.

$ mkdir /iso0
$ mount -o loop -t iso9660 /FC2-i386-DVD.iso /iso0

Or to mount automatically at boot, add the following to "/etc/fstab"



/FC2-i386-DVD.iso /iso0 iso9660 rw,loop 0 0
