You can get can pull files out of an ISO file with an IsoBuster. Once you've downloaded an ISO Image you can mount it as a [[loopback]] device. This will give you access to the files in the ISO without you having to burn it to a CDROM first. In order to do this you must have loopback compiled into your Linux Kernel. (Most newer distributions will have this enabled by default). Loop-mount the disk image means to mount a file as if it is a drive device. For example if you wanted to mount filename.iso to /mnt/iso you would run the following command: mount -o loop -t iso9660 filename.iso /mnt/iso And all your files are in /mnt/iso This is, you can use an ISO image without burning it to a CD, mounting it via the [[loopback]] device: * mkdir /mnt/isotest * mount -o loop -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/isotest * ls /mnt/isotest See also: * dd * growisofs * md5sum * mkisofs * iso-9660 (use {{{apropos 9660}}}
