Slackware-13.1-Hacks-Mount ISO Image
Posted 01-01-2011 at 10:18 PM by arniekat
Suppose you have an ISO Image of a CD/DVD and you want/need to get some information off the disc image. You can mount it as a filesystem and use your file browser to see its contents.
Create a directory to mount the ISO Image:
$ su
$ <Root_Password>
# mkdir -p /mnt/disk
Now mount the *.iso file system to the mount point:
# mount -o loop /<Path_To_ISO_Image>/<Name_of_ISO>.iso /mnt/disk
# cd /mnt/disk
# ls -al
Or, use your File Manager to navigate to /mnt/disk and copy the files you need.
Unmount the image:
# umount /mnt/disk
Create a directory to mount the ISO Image:
$ su
$ <Root_Password>
# mkdir -p /mnt/disk
Now mount the *.iso file system to the mount point:
# mount -o loop /<Path_To_ISO_Image>/<Name_of_ISO>.iso /mnt/disk
# cd /mnt/disk
# ls -al
Or, use your File Manager to navigate to /mnt/disk and copy the files you need.
Unmount the image:
# umount /mnt/disk

fuseiso is nice as well for mounting it as a normal user. However, this is not a standard program on slackware.Posted 01-01-2011 at 11:02 PM by lumak

the OP was talking about iso files on the harddrive. Not CDs. Additionally, 'linux' does not auto mount cds. The components in KDE, Gnome, XFCE, or other Desktop Environment will auto mount the CDs.Posted 01-04-2011 at 01:35 AM by lumak

I should have been paying closer attention.Quote:the OP was talking about iso files on the harddrive. Not CDs. Additionally, 'linux' does not auto mount cds. The components in KDE, Gnome, XFCE, or other Desktop Environment will auto mount the CDs.
