Procedure to mount ISO images under Linux
As Root
1)Create some directory to mount the iso so that you can view it as a regular directory.
# mkdir -p /mnt/disk
2) Use mount command as follows to mount iso file called disk1.iso:
# mount -o loop disk1.iso /mnt/disk
Now to see the contents of iso file, Change directory to list files stored inside an ISO image:
# cd /mnt/disk
# ls -l
More about loop device
A loop device is a pseudo-device that makes a file accessible as a block device. Loop devices are often used for CD ISO images and floppy disc images. Mounting a file containing a filesystem via such a loop mount makes the files within that filesystem accessible. They appear in the mount point directory using above commands.
