Hi bailey239!

Open a terminal and type this:

Code:

mount -o loop -t iso9660 file.iso /mnt/mycd
Assuming that:

1 - You are root (su)
2 - The directory mycd (mycd) exists
3 - That your iso is called "file.iso".

open an iso???
 
Hi,
I'm a little confused, are you trying to remaster the iso, to make your own, or do you want to look at the files within it, or are you trying to mount it like a live filesystem, or are you trying to install Linux?
Please be more specific, also what flavour of Linux are you using?

Regards,
Craig

man mount

You use the loop device to mount an iso file

mount file.iso /mnt/yourdirectory -t iso9660 -o loop
