A neat trick in Linux is the ability to mount an .iso file as if it was a CDROM.
The command to do this is:
sudo mount -t iso9660 -o loop /home/danny/filename.iso /media/cdrom
where “/home/danny/filename.iso” is the path to the ISO file and the latter “/media/cdrom” is the mount point. In this case it will mount it where the CDROM would normally be mounted on.
Mount ISO as CD-rom not as a folder
