Basically any file on the hard drive can be mounted as a filesystem if the file contains a filesystem. This include CD images, floppy images, or even entire hard drive images. As root try: mount -o loop cdimage.iso /mnt/cdrom where /mnt/cdrom is whereever you want it mounted (where the cdrom normally goes it a good choice) -- Jon "Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos!" -- Homer
