Hardware/software Mounting an ISO image

Sometimes, you may want to read the content of an iso image, or retrieve a specific file from that image, but you cannot or do not want to burn a CD.
It is still possible : you may mount an iso image, exactly like you would do for any peripheral !

The command to use, as root, is :

Code:

mount -o loop -t iso9660

Of course, the mount point must exist (I have created a /mnt/iso folder for that purpose, using mkdir).
