Hi, I'm trying to mount some ISO images. What are steps to mount ISO images. What are the steps to setup the kernel so I can mount the images

I tried that but it has an error dealing with 'iso9660'. It says "iso9660 no such file or directory". what should I do to fix this problem

Here's an example I used with a recent download. I put it into a folder which was already made.

mount -t iso9660 -o ro,loop=/dev/loop0 puppy-0.9.7-firefox.iso /home/test

don't forget to unmount when you are done....
umount /home/test

how can I mount other images than ISOs and CUEs or BINs? Such like MDF or whatever?

you can not mount bin and cue, i have mounted iso and img with no problems. i have no clue what an mdf is.

when i get home, ill link you the site i use that talks in great detail about mounting images and how to do so.

enjoy.

ok that was not the bigger link i was thinking about so here is the laydown for you in basic steps:

1. mkdir sharepoint
2. mount -o loop file.img /sharepoint
3. access files just like you would if they were native on your local box.

example:

mkdir movie
mount -o loop movie.iso /movie
cd /movie
ls
movie_name.avi

enjoy.
