The short answer, as root do:

mount -o loop /path/to/file.iso /path/to/mountpoint

If that doesn't work then you need to insure that the loopback device is
built into your kernel or as a module, and then check out the losetup
man page. More than likely though it will be as simple as shown.

In your example what is mountpoint?  Is this something you make up?

You create a directory that you will use for mount points.  For
example, most distros come with a directory called /mnt and under that
will be several empty directories with appropriate names like cdrom,
floppy, hd, iso, etc.  then your mount point becomes /mnt/cdrom,
/mnt/iso, etc.

Re: iso files

[Sean McMahon]

Thanks.  If you have a /mnt/cdrom, do you want the iso to be mounted to that
point or should the iso have its own mount point?

Again, that really doesn't matter.  But to avoid possible confusion or
forget what the mounted file system is really linked to, you should
probably use /mnt/iso.  Actually, I created the iso mount point for
this very purpose.  You could create several iso mount points with
different names if it became necessary to mount several iso's at
once.  You can call them whatever you want.  They're just empty
directories to start with.

Hi,

I'll back this up - I got a fair bit wiser without getting much older using
this doc.  Great job, folks!

Cheers.

Re: ISO files

[Edward L. Barnes]

Hi Angus, you don't need to uncompress isoes to burn them to cd though 
this is most likely how you'll want to do the install, I.E., you'll want 
to do a cd based install so burn the cds before beginning with your tool 
of choice, it doesn't matter if your tool of choice for burning the 
disks is Nero, EZ CD Creator, or another tool. And, for what it's worth 
I've had good experience with Bill's speakupup modified rh media 
detecting my synth once I specify it on the command line to begin an 
install using in my case text speakup_synth=acntsa for my accent sa.
Of course the synth key word you'll need for your synth will be 
different but everything up to text speakup_synth= will be the same as 
what I'd use.
Hth and good luck.

ISO files

This Sunday I am sitting down with an experienced Linux user and getting help to install RedHat Linux. I have downloaded the RedHat ISO files to my HD from the Speakup FTP site. Now should I burn the ISO files to CDRW using Nero 5.50.90? Should I uncompress the ISO files some how before I burn them? Currently I am using Windows 98 SE with 320MB of RAM. Is there a CDRW disk type I should use?

When I put the CD into the drive, will Speakup automatically recognize and use my DECTalk Express on COM1?
