| Hello
How can I mount an iso image file w/o using cdrom.
I vaguely remember it can be mounted as loop device...
Thank you

This gives error "unknown filesystem type 'loop'".
Try
mount -o loop <file.iso> <mountpoint>
Groetjes,

mount -t auto -o ro,loop=/dev/loop0 image.iso /mnt/cdrom
For extra points, do a
man mount
man mkdir <=== if you need to create a mount point.
man umount

the command was
mount -t loop <file.iso> <mountpoint>
If you do a man mount
you will see the _-t_ argument needs the filesystem type of the iso.

Once again:
mount -t iso9660 -o loop <file.iso> <mountpoint>

Absolutely! Sorry!
He still might need to specify the filesystem type too.

I made a mistake when I gave the command. 'loop' goes with
the -o parameter. He may still have to specify the
filesystem type and he needs the loopback driver in the
kernel, or as you implied above, loaded as a module.

Cliff

Yes, my mistake. Also, as someone suggested, it might be a
good idea to mount it 'ro'.
