RE: [Sheflug] iso file systems

[Craig Andrews <nospam [at] fishbot.org.uk>]

yes, as long as you have loopback filesystem support (you will have).

Get the iso and make a mountpoint (say, /mnt/iso) and type this:

mount -t iso9660 /path/to/iso/image.iso /mnt/iso -o loop

And access it under /mnt/iso
