Extracting iso

How do I extract a Fedora 8 iso to my Desktop?

You can mount it as a loop device:

Code:

mount -o loop Fedora_8.iso /mount/point

and then it becomes like any other folder. You can drag (copy) the contents to the desktop or copy it whichever way you like.

Other programs you can use (graphically) are Kiso, and Isomaster.

Note that just because you place a package in an iso will not make it install. Extracting the iso is easy, but I still have not figured out where to find the packages to delete or add packages.

Is there is similar program as isomaster available at the console, I need to extract one file called isolinux.cfg from an ISO. Tool needs to be available in a live cd like knoppix .. would be great to hear from you guys ..

Just mount the iso image using a loop device as already suggested. Then you can cd into the mountpoint and copy the file you need.
