| Code: | mkdir /mnt/vcdrom
mount -t auto /dev/xxx /mnt/vcdrom |
this is assuming you already have a cd mounted in your cdrom, if you don't you can just mount it to /mnt/cdrom.

so i have to edit the command mount [name].iso ?
'cause i did | Quote: | bash-2.05b$ mount [name].iso
mount: can't find /home/visvent/[name].iso in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab |
the thing is, i'm pretty new with linux (worked several months in dual boot with red hat and mandrake), and windows has really f*cked up my intelligence real bad, it's like i'm attending grammar school again, have to learn writing and reading all over again...[/quote]

uh, I don't think he wants to mount a /dev/xxx
he wants to mount an iso file, which requires using mount with the loopback option.
I'm not sure exactly how to do it, I just know that's how it's done. Try searching the forums, or google for "linux mount iso loopback"
