This tip explains how you can mount a CD or DVD ISO image in Linux. This is a command line method and so you need to fire up your terminal.

The syntax for mounting an ISO image is as follows :

$ mount -t iso9660 -o ro,loop=/dev/loop0 <ISO file> <Mount point>

For example, if I have an ISO file called "fedora.iso" and I want to mount it in the /media location, then I enter the command as follows :

$ mount -t iso9660 -o ro,loop=/dev/loop0 fedora.iso /media

Now I can access the files in the ISO in the /media location.
