I am new to Linux. I have Fedora installed on my PC.
I wanted to install MatLab for Linux from an ISO file. Now from my previous experience of windows, I thought that mounting or extracting it into my HD will help. But I can find no way to do it
Welcome to LinuxQuestions.org. Yup, same rules for Windows applies here when dealing with ISO's. You've to mount them. But no worries, that's actually quite easy to do. Take a look at this tutorial:
Hi sattu, Now from my previous experience of windows, I thought that mounting or extracting it into my HD will help.
exactly
Code:
su
Password:
mkdir mountpoint
mount -o loop YourImage.iso mountpoint
ls mountpoint/
Become root, make a directory to see the files in, mount the image to this directory, see whats in there.
Be aware that rebooting will unmount everything you have not saved in your /etc/fstab file. You might want to copy the contents of the mount directory to your hard drive to be able to access them later without remounting.
i give this error:
mount: /dev/loop0: can't read superblock
