1. if you have updated your (s)locate database, which normally is done once/24h, use
Code:
locate *part_of_the_name_of_iso*.iso
(so you'll find the name Linux_ISO_cd_1-xx.yy.iso by giving command locate *Linux*.iso for example)
if you haven't updated the database, as root, run updatedb and if your (s)locate is broken or don't have it or little green men stole it, you can use (possibly much more time-taking) method like this:
Code:
find / -name <filename>
where you can replace ./ with the directory where you start the search, like ./ or /home/somebody or /etc and so on..
2. mounting is easy:
Code:
mount -o loop -t iso9660 isofilename.iso /path/to/mountpoint
where /path/to/mountpoint is some directory and isofilename.iso is the ISO's filename.
3. for every video, you'll need somekind of codecs I think
if you use mplayer, go to their site and download the codec packs you need.
all this could have been found using google...
