how to extract iso files ?

Anyone who need to use the content of an .iso image file in ubuntu, without burning it to a cd can use the following command to create a virtual cd by mounting the .iso file.

$ sudo mount -o loop -t iso9660 /path/to/iso/file.iso /media/cdrom

After using the virtual CD you can simply unmount the virtual drive using the following command
