> mount -o loop file.iso /users/steven/backup/isodir
mount: only root can do that

Is there some other way to show the listing of the iso file?

If you want to extract ISOs via command line, use 7zip.

Syntax:

7z e -r myiso.iso “/path”

This negates the need for mounting the iso (requires root access) and can be done without using the GUI for scripting purposes. Since 7zip is available on most platforms, MacOS, Windows, and *NIX are all supported.

In Linux just ‘right-click’ > “Extract Here”. There is no need to mount first.

Hello there,

some time we can not extract DVD iso using this command such as vista dvd iso. it is never properly extract using this command also we can not properly extract using magiciso or other tool. my point is some iso create using ISO13346 and Linux Kernel 2.4.* not support ISO13346.

mount -o loop -t iso9660 debian-sid.iso /mnt/isoimage/

and

In GUI mount-iso-image-0.9 is best tool for mount iso images
