How to view the content of iso image

Sometimes we have an iso image in our computer. One of the way to view it is to burn it on a cd and then we can view it. The other method is we can use mount command.
Type this command on terminal:

-> mount -o loop filename.iso /path/to/directory

where;
/path/to/directory - directory where you want to deploy the iso

filename.iso - name of the iso file

mount -o loop file.iso /user/backup/6.1.4isr6
mount: only root can do that

Is there another way?
Thanks

Hi Anonymous,

You need to be root to do mount. Do "su -" first before running the mount command. If you have sudoers installed, just run "sudo mount -o loop files.iso /user/backup/6.1.4isr6
