If what you want to do is mount an iso file, then you just need to use the loopback device. Read man mount for details.

There is a kde program called kiso that you may be interested in.
KIso is a fronted for KDE to make it as easy as possible to create manipulate and extract CD Image files.

Here is a link to download this at kde-apps.org:

sure you can mount ISO images like normal file systems if you have loop device configured in the kernel (Most distros do) you can do this

mkdir /tmp/mounthere

mount -t iso9660 cdimage.iso /tmp/mounthere

And, you can make an iso from a cd. For example, cp /dev/hda/ /home/foo.iso. is the command I would use.

Hi.

Will "cp /dev/hda /path/to/foo.iso" copy boot info from the cd?
I mean will the copy of a Suse (bootable) CD be bootable, for example?
