mounting images in linux

[Fox-18]

i recently obtained a quake3 .iso for linux, and i was wondering if linux had any built-in software to allow me to mount and install the image? if not, could you reference me to a program that could?

thanks :).

you sure can, you must have iso9660 filesystem, and loopback device support (both of which I'm sure are enabled by default on your sys.)

mount -t iso9660 -ro,loop quake3.iso /mnt/some_dir

I'm not sure if you'll be able to install it that way or not, but that's how you mount the iso.
