You can quite easily mount an iso using command-line tools:
First create a directory to mount the iso in with:
sudo mkdir /media/myisos
(Usually the loop
module that enables an iso type filesystem to be read is automatically added so you shouldn't need to run sudo modprobe loop
.)
Now mount your iso by pointing mount
to its location:
sudo mount ~/location/of/iso /media/myisos -o loop
It will give you a warning about the iso being mounted read-only, but that is correct.
You can later unmount it with
sudo umount ~/location/of/iso /media/myisos
ls /cdrom
? Note that ISO files are by definition read-only hence the warning. – Takkat Jul 16 '12 at 12:25-r
