Use tar. Simple FreeBSD tar, it's good for everything.

well, you can mount it and then search around inside ..


mount_cd9660 -o ro /dev/`mdconfig -a -t vnode -f /path/to/file.iso` /mount-point



Good luck!

I never tried it but bsdtar is able to extract an iso image.

"tar creates and manipulates streaming archive files.  This
implementation can extract from tar, pax, cpio, zip, jar, ar, and ISO
9660 cdrom images and can create tar, pax, cpio, ar, and shar archives."

You can mount an iso and copy files from it.

First create a memory disk device to contain the file system:

mdconfig -a -t vnode -f /path/to/your.iso -u md0

Then mount the file system as you would mount a CD-ROM:

mount -t cd9660 /dev/md0   /mnt

After you finish, first unmount then detach the md0 device:

umount /mnt
mdconfig -d -u md0

Easiest way normally would be to mount the image and use the filesystem.
assuming you are not root and have sudo installed.

sudo mdconfig -a -t vnode -f filename.iso -u 7

(this assumes you dont already have an md7 device, not specifying -u
will automatically take the next available.)

then
sudo sudo mount -t cd9660 /dev/md7 /path/to/mountpoint

once you are done, umount it and

sudo mdconfig -d -u 7

man mdconfig has more info and another example.

 From the man page of mdconfig(8):
To mount an ISO 9660 CD image file:

# mdconfig -a -t vnode -u 10 -f cdimage.iso
# mount_cd9660 /dev/md10 /mnt

Afterwards you can access all the files within "cdimage.iso" as any other
files
in "/mnt".

To better understand what happens see
mdconfig(8)man
page.

all the best,

if you have saved these ISO images as "files" on a CD-ROM, there is
something wrong here.  These are meant to be written as "raw images"
each on a separate CD-ROM disk.

Most CD-burning software has two modes:

  * One that lets you select files from a disk directory, and burn these
files as a collection of *files* on a CD-ROM disk.

  * One that lets you burn a CD-ROM disk *image* as an "image".

You have to use the second mode, and burn 6.1-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso on
a disk of its own.  Then 6.1-RELEASE-i386-disc2.iso on a second disk.

After you have done these two steps, you can insert the first disk in a
CD-ROM drive, and you will see the _contents_ of the CD-ROM disk :)

Why do you say this?  Are you trying to install FreeBSD for the first 
time?  The ISOs are images of a complete CD.  Burn them to CD with an 
appropriate piece of software and you can then boot from them.



What utility do I use?


What platform have you downloaded them to?









Bottom line, I'm stuck with these iso files and no apparent install 
media. Any guidelines would be appreciated.

ISO files...

[Denise and Raul]

Hello,

I have ISO files saved on cd's.
1) 6.1-RELEASE-i386-bootonly.iso
2) 6.1-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso
3) 6.1-RELEASE-i386-disc2.iso

I'm gathering that I need to extract files/data/etc. from the ISO files. 
What utility do I use?


Do I need a separate cd as boot media with information extracted from 
the first file above? Do I need to just copy the boot image on to a 
floppy and just have it install the remainder of the files. The cd drive 
that I have on the machine I'm planning to install linux is not cdrom 
burner. So if a solution is to use something like dd to extract 
information and then copy back to the cdrom, I may not be able to do it.


I already have an old version of (I believe) RedHat. Can I just run 
sysinstall off the floppy which will in turn access the cdrom drive in 
order to install the remainder of files? If so where can I get 
sysinstall from?


Bottom line, I'm stuck with these iso files and no apparent install 
media. Any guidelines would be appreciated.

NFS exports file systems, not directories.

If you put each of your mount points in
/etc/exports it should work.

nfs exporting mounted iso files ?

[Bill Schoolcraft]

Hello Family,

I have been trying to export four mounted iso images under /mnt on my
FreeBSD-5.4 box via nfs and I can export everything under /mnt but the
iso's don't show up on the client, only the directories.

First I mounted all the iso's with the following series of
commands.

mdconfig -a -t vnode -f file1.iso -u 1
mount -t cd9660 /dev/md1 /mnt/loop1

mdconfig -a -t vnode -f file1.iso -u 2
mount -t cd9660 /dev/md2 /mnt/loop2

mdconfig -a -t vnode -f file3.iso -u 3
mount -t cd9660 /dev/md3 /mnt/loop3

mdconfig -a -t vnode -f file4.iso -u 4
mount -t cd9660 /dev/md4 /mnt/loop4

#
ere is my /etc/exportfs on the FreeBSD-5.4 server

/mnt-maproot=0  -network 192.168.1.0 -mask 255.255.255.0

#

Here are the mounted iso's via the mount command on the server.

/dev/md1 on /mnt/loop1 (cd9660, local, read-only)
/dev/md2 on /mnt/loop2 (cd9660, local, read-only)
/dev/md3 on /mnt/loop3 (cd9660, local, read-only)
/dev/md4 on /mnt/loop4 (cd9660, local, read-only)

#

On the other Unix client box I can mount the exported "/mnt" and see
all the
"/mnt/loop*" but no contents.

On the other Unix client box I can also mount "/mnt/loop1" and still
not see any contents under "/mnt/loop1"

On the server the directories are full of contents under

/mnt/loop1
/mnt/loop2
/mnt/loop3
/mnt/loop4

I'm thinking that I can nfs export iso filesystems on other
flavors of Unix like systems but not on FreeBSD.

Am I missing anything obvious or...?

TIA

That's the 'Live Filesystem' CD -- it's a bootable CD with a fully
working of the OS which you can use to fix systems /in extremis/.

You don't need it during the normal course of installing the system:
only when things go horribly wrong.

Did you verify that the ISO image had the correct MD5 checksum prior
to trying to install from it?  Your download may be corrupted.
