I don't specifically know of an App in Linux to mount an ISO and pull RPM's off it but there is one for Windows. Matter of fact, that's how I installed RH 8.0. I downloaded all the ISO's then mounted it and copied all of the files into a folder on my Win Box. Next I setup an FTP server on my Windows box. I made the boot floppies for RH 8.0 and told it to install via FTP server and pointed it to my Windows box. Across a 100Mb Network the install is very fast.

Wrong presumption. ;) The image disk.out is _exactly_ the same size than the ISO image you had burnt to the CD. Compare the size! Compare the MD5 fingerprint! It is the same. *But* no I/O errors at the end upon reading the CD. > Maybe a related question: Is there a way to list and extract selected > files (like rpm packages) from an iso image residing on a hard drive > without burning to a CD? # mount image.iso /mnt/somewhere -o loop,ro
