Let me see, how much effort are you prepared to go to in order to do this as a "regular user"... because at some point, "sudo" becomes only one of many options, including "install another Unix system somewhere that you are root of". But if you genuinely have to mount as a non-root user, there's fusermount, which is often capable of loading up an ISO. But honestly, "ssh you@somebox" can be run by anyone, so there's always a way around the whole not-having-root thing. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
