I have a 2.2 GB ISO file. How can I get the contents of the file?
Thanks

You can mount it with:
| Code: | mkdir temp
mount -t iso9660 -o loop file.iso temp |
After that you can access it like every other filesystem.
For this to work the loopback device support has to be in the kernel. If it is a module, you'll have to do
before that. |

If you're using a graphical filemanager you should be able to browse the mounted ISO image (at temp/ in the example) and copy the files to a place somewhere in your home directory (by drag and drop or with the context menu or whatever).
If you're using a terminal ls temp will show you the contents of the image, you can walk through the image with cd <some_directory> and cd .. (to go one directory up), and cp <some_file> ~ will copy single files to your home directory.
If you want to extract the entire image to your home directory, you will probably want it in an own directory, say isocontents (probably you know a better name, since you know what's on that image). You first create that directory with mkdir isocontents and then copy all the files over there with cp -R temp/* isocontents (the -R is "recursively", i.e. it copies all the contents of all the subdirectories). |
