[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.

RE: [gentoo-user] Unpacking an ISO Image
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.

Kris I might have the syntax wrong, since I haven't done this in awhile, but I think it goes like this: mount -o loop someImage.iso someDirectory This will allow you to mount the ISO and browse the files there as if they were actually on a CD (or extraced on your hard drive). The files are read-only while they are inside the ISO image... -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Kris mount as loopback mount -o loopback i think. but you have to have enabled the loopback fs in the kernel. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Kris Hi, Use mount -t iso9660 ISO-file-name.iso /mnt/cdrom -o loop Then in /mnt/cdrom you'll have ISO-file contents. man mount HTH.Rumen smime.p7s Description: S/MIME cryptographic signature

You might have to specify a filesystem type, can't remember. No, you don't HAVE to. You can, but you're not forced to. But that's actually nothing special - it's perfectly fine to mount normal filesystems without specifiyng the filesystemtype.
