In linux, the default ISO mount point is located in the "/media" directory. The following describes how to mount an ISO file:

Sudo mkdir/media/cdimage # create a folder as an ISO mount point
Sudo mount-o loop myfile. iso/media/cdimage # mount the ISO file and use the-o loop parameter.

Replace myfile. iso with the iso file you want to mount.

Mount an image file to make it writable. Run the following command:

Sudo mkdir/media/cdimage
Sudo mount-o rw, loop myfile. iso/media/cdimage

Detach an image file:

Sudo umount/media/cdimage
Rmdir/media/cdimage
