... if you know how to use 'mount': yes, there is a utility :) First mount the partition where you have the iso.image. then: mount /some/path/to/some.iso /mountpoint/ -o loop=/dev/loop0 on /mountpoint/ you'll have the iso now which you can view as if it were a CD with files on it ... :) To unmount all this do these 3 commands (and never ever forget it :)) umount /dev/loop0 losetup -d /dev/loop0 umount /partition/from/step/one It's a dangerous thing if you make a mistake and then cannot umount your partitions ... Please check my suggestions very carefully (Google etc. ...): if I made a mistake you'll have a big problem ... man losetup man mount Regards Wolfgang > > PG -- New Key on: http://home.t-online.de/home/520050060325-0001/ Key fingerprint = 2B4D FE85 924D 06CC 881D 2E8D 771F 0EDE 92F6 DDFF [created on 2002-06-11] http://www.geocities.com/wolfgangpfeiffer/ -- END TRANSMISSION -- _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
