Copy your ISO file to a specific location. For this example, let's say that we copied to our home directory. Example: /home/user
Create a directory that will receive the mounted ISO file. Example: /home/user/iso
Now open a terminal, su to root, and type in the following command:
mount -o loop /home/user/file.iso /home/user/iso
Note: There is a limit of 9 ISO's that can be mounted at a given time.
OPTIONAL: If, for some reason, it asks for the file system type, you could also try the same command in a different format:
mount -r /home/user/file.iso /home/user/iso -t iso9660 -o loop
