Supplemental: The creation tools just directly make an ISO file, they don't have to loop mount anything. You only need to horse around with loop mounting if *you* want to see the finished ISO file as if it were a disc that you'd put into a drive. There are various software players that will just play the ISO file directly as if you'd loaded a disc, too. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.80.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Nov 8 15:48:59 UTC 2022 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
