mounting iso error
 
Hi there, I am trying to mount an iso on my laptop ubuntu12.04. I have copied the iso file on the desktop and the folder I want to copy it to is on the desktop too it's called isos. I run
Code:
antobbo@antobbo-xps17-ubuntu:~/Desktop$ sudo mount -o Driving_Test_Success_All_Tests_Ultimate_2011_DVD.iso
only to get this error:

Code:
mount: can't find isos in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
Any idea at all?
thanks

Try this:
sudo mkdir -p /mnt/disk
sudo mount -o Driving_Test_Success_All_Tests_Ultimate_2011_DVD.iso /mnt/disk

browse: cd /mnt/disk then ls -l

Why -o with no option specified?
If the .iso file holds a filesystem i would do like this:
mount -o loop -t iso9660 file.iso /mnt/test

These work for me
Code:
mount -o loop /mnt/isos/CentOS-6.3-x86_64-bin-DVD1.iso /mnt/isos/repo/1
mount -o loop /mnt/isos/CentOS-6.3-x86_64-bin-DVD2.iso /mnt/isos/repo/2

antobbo@antobbo-xps17-ubuntu:/$ sudo mkdir -p /mnt/disk
antobbo@antobbo-xps17-ubuntu:/$ sudo mount -o Driving_Test_Success_All_Tests_Ultimate_2011_DVD.iso /mnt/disk

antobbo@antobbo-xps17-ubuntu:/$
no joy I am afraid. somehow it doesn't find the folder I have just created....odd any idea?
thanks

You've missed out 'loop' ; -o means --options and a drive/mnt pt is not an option
