dear experts
How can I extract the files and install an application that has a postfix of .iso ??? could you please advise what is iso in linux Red hat and what is a file.iso ??
Very Best Regards
Conventionally a .iso file is an image of a ISO9660 Filesystem (CD-ROM Data). These can be either burnt onto a blank CD, or can be mounted via loopback and you can access the data.
There is the possibility that this file may not be a CD image and just have the extension iso, to find out for sure at a terminal change to the directory this file is located and do 'file filename.iso' this will tell you what type of file filename.iso is.
This is somewhat from memory, since I don't have a box to test it on at the moment, but you should be able to mount it like this (assuming it's a valid ISO, and you're root):
