You can do: mount -o loop /location/of/iso/file.iso /mnt/cdrom
That will mount it on the file system and allow you to grab stuff out. You might have to specify a filesystem type, can't remember. If that's the case: mount -t iso9660 -o loop /location/of/iso/file.iso /mnt/cdrom Lee. -----Original Message----- From: Kris Kerwin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 16 May 2006 16:19 To: gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org Subject: [gentoo-user] Unpacking an ISO Image Hi folks, Quick question. Is there any way that one can unpack an ISO image: extracting the data that is contained within it like a tarball, without having to burn it to a CD? I'm sure there's an option somewhere within either the mkisofs or cdrecord man pages, but I feel like I'm searching for a needle in a haystack. Thanks in advance.
