iso's

[tek-69]

how do i mount an iso to my harddrive? I'm having trouble burning the iso file , it just burns the one file to disk. anyway i figure it'll be easier to just mount the iso and then move all the files to a cd . so this is what i did:

 

[root@localhost tarballs]# mkdir /mnt/iso

[root@localhost tarballs]# ls /mnt

cdrom cdrom1 floppy hdb iso

[root@localhost tarballs]# /mount slax* /mnt/iso

-bash: /mount: No such file or directory

[root@localhost tarballs]# mount slax* /mnt/iso

mount: slax-3.0.25-2.iso is not a block device (maybe try `-o loop'?)

[root@localhost tarballs]# mount -o slax* /mnt/iso

mount: can't find /mnt/iso in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab

[root@localhost tarballs]# mount -o slax-3.0.25-2.iso /mnt/iso

mount: can't find /mnt/iso in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab

[root@localhost tarballs]# mount -o /mnt/iso slax-3.0.25-2.iso

mount: can't find /home/tim/tarballs/slax-3.0.25-2.iso in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab

[root@localhost tarballs]# rmdir /mnt/iso

[root@localhost tarballs]# ls /mnt

cdrom cdrom1 floppy hdb

[root@localhost tarballs]#

 

what am i doing wrong ?

have fun
