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
