Smile mount iso image

I would like to mount an iso CD image on my Suse linux (SLES 9), the image has been copied to my suse linux machine.

am able to mount the iso image manually by

mount -oloop /iso/SLES-9-i386-CD1.iso /free

but I would like to put the above entry in /etc/fstab so that when the machine is rebooted, the image will be mounted automatically.

How can i mount the iso image automatically with the option mount -oloop in /etc/fstab the CD image has been copied locally.

Can you help? please

Thanks

Why bother? if you always want it to be there, why not just copy the contents into the filesystem and be done with it?

To use a loopback mount you would add "loop" to the fourth column for this entry in fstab.

file /mnt/suse iso9660 loop,auto 0 0

/iso/SLES-9-i386-CD1.iso /free iso9660 loop,auto 0 0



I do this also because extracting files
a. takes up extra space
b. cant be easily burned to bootable cd as easy as and ISO
c. an iso is easier to keep deframented.
