HOWTO: Mounting ISO in Ubuntu
Friday, February 1, 2008 | Labels: Ubuntu | |In Windows, this is a very tedious thing to do; because you need to install a certain software so that it can create a virtual drive for you. After that, you still need to restart your PC to be able to mount the ISO image.
Not so in Ubuntu or other Linux distros.
1. Create a folder to mount that ISO.
mkdir ~/myiso
2. Mount the ISO.
sudo mount -o loop image.iso ~/myiso
3. Browse your ISO.
cd ~/myiso
ls -l
Once you are done, you can unmount that ISO image by
sudo umount ~/myiso
Very useful when you are restoring a backup image.
Happy Linux-ing! :D
