Occasionally, there will be times you will need to extract files from an ISO image and copy them elsewhere on your filesystem, yet don't want to have to burn a CD just to do it. Well, help is at hand: as root/avatar, go to a console, and type the following commands:

mkdir /iso

And to actually mount the ISO:

mount -t iso9660 <path to image> /iso/ -o loop

You can now access the ISO image as if it were a CD, through /iso.
Y'know, if you log in, you can write something here, or contact authors directly on the site. Create a New User if you don't already have an account.
