The previous two sends are excellant nuts and bolts answers. From a more theoretical level, some interesting info: ISO is a reference to ISO standard 9660, which is the standard format for CDs (roughly equiv. to the "Red Book" standard from Philips?) .iso's can be mounted! Check this out: mount -t iso9660 some_cool.iso /mnt/iso That will mount the file "some_cool.iso" on /mnt/iso (you have to create the mount point, "/mnt/iso" as you would with a partition first), and you can read it like it's a local drive. cool. Can you write to a mounted ISO? I've never tried. > Mario Hines wrote: > > > To All: > > > > I need help on this. I found a site to download > > the ISO images for a beta version of Mandrake 9.
