Manuel-

Can you correctly mount other cds?  Is the file system used in the mount
command or fstab  iso9660?
I have never tried to mount a cd without the iso9660 file system.  Maybe
this is what happens when the fs it wrong?

I think the *.iso means that is it is an image of a cd rather than a cd
file system.  I would consiider this a defect if the mount is correct for a
cd.  If I understand correctly the iso images are used to burn cds.    I
mount iso images from my hard drive like this:

mount ./redhat6.2/zoot-i386.iso -o loop redhatiso

Assuming redhatiso exists in the current directory, this mounts the image
at redhatiso and it can now be used as a normal readonly filesystem.

If all else fails you can probably mount the thing using something like
this(assumes that the cd is in /mnt/cdrom):

cd /mnt
mkdir cdkludge
mount /mnt/cdrom/sourceIT_1_5.iso -o loop cdkludge

Hope this gets you going.  I responded directly to you since the list is so
slow.
