Access .iso file/CD image

Question & Answer


Question

How do you access an .iso file/CD image file?

Answer

To use an .iso file, issue the following command:

    mount -t iso9660 -o ro,loop=/dev/loop0 <.iso file> <CD mount point>

For example:
    mount -t iso9660 -o ro,loop=/dev/loop0 health_drivers3.2.01.25.07.iso /mnt/cdrom

After running this command, if you then run cd /mnt/cdrom you will see all the files which are in the .iso file.
