Mount .iso with linux ubuntu?
« on: July 06, 2011, 04:02:08 am »
Hey Guys,
Ka0s here,

I'm brand new to Linux and Im trying to install backtrack, it downloaded in a .iso file.
How do I install this....I open command terminal and have tried typing in commands i read on google....but no cigar.


Thanks,
ka0s

it is rather simple. You can mount it like any other drive to view its contents, or you can open it with an archive manager.
To mount it with a command line: sudo mount image.iso /media/isoimage/ -t iso9660 -o loop
Of course, folder "isoimage" must exist.

Or you could use an app, like "Kiso" or "AcetoneISO". I have both because "Kiso" has a good function to convert all kinds of images to ISO and "AcetoneISO" has loads of stuff.
Both can be installed from the repository.

Thats great! I understand now.  I'm still learning how to use the commands for Linux.
I was raised on windows :(

Those programs are very helpful as well.

Thanks,
Ka0s
