Using iso file contents

So you have an iso file & want to see what's on it ?? 

These are systems administration type tasks and must be done as root (su - to root, or sudo)


An iso is  a file system so you have to mount it as you would any other file system:

1. create a mount point mkdir -p /mnt/iso
2. mount -o loop -t iso9660 yourisofile.iso /mnt/iso 
3. look at the files under the tree ls -l /mnt/iso

Again we don't need anything that doesn't come with a linux install!


Use the man pages:
man mkdir
man mount
man ls
