Mount .iso Image Files Using Unix

On UNIX platforms, use the .iso image file directly through the DVD emulation provided with some of the operating environment DVD device drivers. For Linux systems, you can use the .iso image by mounting it on the .iso file system driver.

To mount the .iso image file using Unix, open a command prompt and issue a command similar to the following:

mount -t .iso9660 -o ro,loop,dev filename.iso /mnt/CAcd

The command mounts the .iso image file (filename.iso) at the /mnt/CAcd mount point. Hence, the DVD contents are accessible through the /mnt/CAcd directory.
