mounting ISO files as vrtual CD

[stars]

Hi,

I am wondering if there are ways I can mount a ISO file and use it ?

Thinking of merginging multiple livecds without actually burning. :) Trying out unionfs!

This will probably make my backups faster !

In windows use Daemon tools.
In linux:
mount -t iso9660 -o loop,ro,users the_iso_image.iso /some/place/to/mount/it/

Oh! Thanks! :)

Opp... actually what I meant was, eg for the knoppix distribution, the is a HUGE 700MB+ file called KNOPPIX.
Can I load it so that I can see the root filesystems, etc?

I have also got such a question:
Could you give me a mount command for mounting an image of a floppy disc?
Thanks in advance

I believe the command is similar. Do a search and I am sure u can find it.

For my case, mounting is not the solution as I still cannot make use of it. The current possible solution is qemu.
