How To Mount iso In Ubuntu

One of my friends asked me , how he could mount an  .iso  image in Ubuntu , via commandline , even though he knew how to mount it with iso mounter in ubuntu. So here is a step by step procedure to mount an iso image .

1.Fire up your gnome -terminal from  accessories ->terminal .

2.Make a directory in /mnt /disk with root privilege ,  # sudo mkdir -p /mnt/disk .

3.Use mount command to mount the iso to the new directory , # sudo mount -o loop filename.iso /mnt/disk  .

4.Now you have successfully mounted your .iso image , to list the files in the iso image change to that dir using cd command

# cd /mnt/disk

5.Now to list the files and folders use the ls command , #ls

You are done , now you can use the iso image just like a directory .
