On Linux you can easily mount an ISO file in almost exactly the same way
as you'd mount a normal CD/DVD but with an extra option, also note the 
need to use the "-d" option when umounting:

$ su -c "mount -t iso9660 TheOpenCD-3.1.iso /mnt/iso/ -o loop"
Password:
$ ls /mnt/iso/
autorun.inf  disctree  extras    md5sum.txt  preseed   start.bmp  ubuntu
bin          dists     install   pics        programs  start.exe  casper 
    doc          isolinux  pool      README.diskdefines    start.ini
$ su -c "umount -d /mnt/iso"
Password:
$ ls /mnt/iso/
