Most modern Linux kernels support the loop mount option. One of the nifty things about the loop filesystem option is that it allows you to mount an ISO image directly into the filesystem without having to burn the image onto a CD first. You could simply run the command

mount -o loop foo.iso /mnt |
to mount foo.iso on the /mnt mountpoint. The type should be auto-detected (iso9660). If things don’t auto-detect, explicitly state them by running a command something along the lines of:

mount -t iso9660 -o ro,loop foo.iso /mnt/cdrom |
