Linux command to extract files from an ISO9660 image

[Aaron Gray]

Hi,

Is there a command to extract files from a .iso file ?

Many thanks in advance,

Aaron

cp :)

mkdir /iso
mount -t auto -o ro,loop=/dev/loop0 fn.iso /iso

cp /iso/file_of_intrest /some/where/else

umount /iso

You'll probably want to mount the image using a loop device.

Something like:

sudo mount -t iso9660 -o loop /path/to/foo.iso /mnt

If you use Gnome, just double-click the iso file and it will open in the
archiver and you can browse through it from there.

Even simpler than mount and cp....

A similar soltion, just <enter> on the iso files, from within mc. You see
the files contents, and can copy it to the directory of choice.

Don't do large volumes of data, using this way. You'll get a very heavy tmp
dir... :-)
