[TIP] Mount ISO Image File on Linux

Once you’ve downloaded an ISO image file, you can mount it as a loopback device. This will give you access to the files in the ISO without having to burn it to a CDROM first.

mount -o ro,loop image.iso /mnt/iso/

> mount -o ro,loop image.iso /mnt/iso/
the read-only option is redundant, just
# mount -o loop image.iso /mnt/iso/
will do.

Also you can mount any filesystem image, not just ISO images with that command.
