Hi Terry, Sorry about the personal reply, but I'm having a few problems posting to the list... anyway... Linux can do this already, and really quite easily! Basically you'd mount the ISO file in exactly the same way as you'd mount a CD, but with 1 extra option: gsewell@vaio:~/files/ISOs/OpenCD$ su -c "mount -t iso9660 TheOpenCD-3.1.iso /mnt/iso/ -o loop" Password: gsewell@vaio:~/files/ISOs/OpenCD$ 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 gsewell@vaio:~/files/ISOs/OpenCD$ su -c "umount -d /mnt/iso" Password: gsewell@vaio:~/files/ISOs/OpenCD$ ls /mnt/iso/ gsewell@vaio:~/files/ISOs/OpenCD$ --Grant -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
