A CD, a floppy disk, and hard drive partitions are all file systems. In order for Linux to access any given file system, you must first "mount" it. That is to say, you must tell Linux what you're mounting, where it is, what type of file system it is, and where you would like it to exist on your system. Aside from Linux hard drive partitions, all mounted file systems are usually in /mnt. On my system: /mnt/cdrom is my CD burner. /mnt/win_c is my Winsux partition. /mnt/camera is my SmartMedia reader. /mnt/iso is where I mount ISO images. When you boot your computer, file systems are mounted according to a file called /etc/fstab, which stands for [f]ile [s]ystem [tab]le. Once your system is booted, you can mount or unmount most of your FSes. Some you do with a command (such as my SmartMedia card reader) while others such as CDs are umounted automatically by Linux using what's called supermount. Anyway, because an ISO image is a picture of a file system, you can mount it so that Linux has access to its files. Once you do that (and someone already gave you the command) you can navigate the ISO image the same as you would any CD. Miark
