Any command to view contents of CD image (iso file) ?

lawrence_lee_lee · 10-09-2007, 11:29 PM

Are there any commands or softwares to view the contents of a CD image? Or are there any method to mount a CD image? I've checked the command 'mount', but seemed to found nothing useful.

Can anyone help?

"mount -o loop file.iso mountpoint"

Make a directory to view the files/folders on the disk image and mount it as such:

Code:

# mkdir /mnt/cd
# mount -o loop /path_to_iso_image /mnt/cd

You should then be able to view the contents of the ISO image in /mnt/cd.

Using Gnome, file-roller will "extract" an .iso, allowing you to study it's contents in detail, then delete the extraction directory. Kinda sloppy, but it works.
