Can you please provide more info. Thanks.

Basically....

Code:

mount -o loop my.iso
..as the root user, or by using sudo. :)

You need a mount point plus the command so from the directory in which you have the iso file, the example below for a gparted iso, edit to suit yours.

Code:

mkdir gparted
mount -o loop gparted-live-0.31.0-1-amd64.iso gparted

thank you all, but someone moved my post from here:
https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...37#post5970537

for no apparent reason.

I was asking how OP (having problems with VBoxAdditions for linux) is mounting iso image.

so please moderators, either but my original post back where it was and/or delete this thread (quite useless for me as I know how to mount iso).

thank you

Moderator did you and everyone a favor.
Think about it

No, aeterna did nothing wrong.

It was I who saw his/her post and assumed that "how do you mount iso?" meant "How do you mount an iso?" rather than "How are you mounting the iso?". I thus reported it so that a new thread could be created for aeterna's question. It's all a question of language, and I obviously misinterpreted the question.

My apologies to everyone, especially aeterna, for my misinterpretation. I have reported this thread to the mods and explained my mistake in the hope that it will be deleted, and also sent a message to aeterna to apologise.

@hydrurga
thank you very much for your help. I will make sure to be more clear next time when responding to someone's question.

I guess - if possible - please remove this thread

And I'll think twice before jumping to conclusions.

Glad you solved the thread, by the way. :)
