mounting ISO in linux - Linux

BG_JrAdmin · #1 (**permalink**) 05-15-2007

Hi Guys,

I'm having a bit of trouble and im not sure what is the deal, I'm trying to mount an ISO on my RHEL box and it is not letting me...

mount -o loop -t iso9660 /home/bgalante/rhel-5-server-i386-disc3.iso /mnt
mount: Not a directory

any idea what i am doing wrong?

hi BG_JrAdmin,

just make sure that /mnt directory is empty,
and for myself - that -t option is obsolete.

cheers

Code:

mount -o ro,loop image.iso /mnt/iso/

is the way I'm doing it.
