mount an iso file to a folder

If this don't work...

First of all, you'll have to check whether certain options are included in your kernel. If you're using a standard kernel from one of the major distributions, it's pretty likely that everything necessary is already included so you might want to skip this step. If you have a self-compiled kernel - and I recommend everyone to compile the kernel oneself - you'll have to enable the following options in your kernel:

in Device Drivers > Block Devices
  Loopback device support

in File Systems > CD-ROM/DVD Filesystems
  ISO 9660 CDROM file system support
  [*]   Microsoft Joliet CDROM extensions
  [*]   Transparent decompression extension
