Make the ISO image available to Linux
If you are using the ISO image, you need to make this available
to Linux on the host PC using one of two methods:
- burn the ISO image onto a CD, or
- use the ISO image using a loopback device.
Burning the ISO image onto a physical CD
Tools such as cdrecord under Linux or EasyCD
under Windows may be used to burn the ISO image directly onto a
CD. This can then be read by the host machine as usual.
Example:
host% cdrecord -scanbus

Using the ISO image using a loopback device
The ISO image can be accessed directly by mounting it as a virtual
CD on the Linux host machine using the loopback device:
host% su
Password:
host# mkdir -p /mnt/cdrom
host# mount -o loop,ro -t iso9660 -r release-2.0-install.iso /mnt/cdrom
