How Do You Mount An ISO In Linux (Kubuntu)?
Do you have an ISO saved on your computer and don’t have an available disc to burn? The alternative is to mount the ISO file as if you had the disc in a drive. Initially, you will want to know the absolute path to the ISO file. The absolute path is the full directory listing; /home/user/Documents/image.iso. This is only an example and will vary by the location and user name. Open Konsole (Terminal for Ubuntu) and type: “sudo mount -o loop -t iso9660 /home/user/Documents/image.iso /mnt” without the quotes. This is the command to mount a CD image to your /mnt directory. If you are mounting a DVD image, you will want to use “udf” instead of “iso9660”. The image is now mounted at /mnt and ready to be accessed. When you are done with the mounted image, you will want to unmount the image from /mnt. The command is quite simple. Type: “sudo umount /mnt” without the quotes.
