Do you mean you want to MOUNT the ISO so you can read it as if it were a CD in a tray? The question is VERY messedup. Please explain using less technical terms and it will be easier.

Thanks

Then why not phrase it that way....Its a lot clearer the second time....

You can mount ISOs easily with:

sudo mkdir /media/iso; sudo mount -o loop /path/to/filename.iso /media/iso

just change /path/to/filename.iso to the actual filename (case VERY sensitive, use TAB to autocomplete the name). You can unmount it using:

sudo umount /media/iso

 I am getting this message

ray@ray-T-1625:/home$ udo mkdir /media/iso; sudo mount -o loop /path/to//media/AWCCNAELSG.iso/media/iso
The program 'udo' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install udo
mount: can't find /path/to//media/AWCCNAELSG.iso/media/iso in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
ray@ray-T-1625:/home$ cd/archives
bash: cd/archives: No such file or directory
ray@ray-T-1625:/home$ sudo apt-get isntall udo
E: Invalid operation isntall

Ok lets do this the EASY way. Where is the ISO stored. I will give you a sample command and you can see how easy it is. You also missed the first 's' off the start of the command.

Thanks

That only tells us that it is bookmarked in your file browser, not its actual location on your computer.

Open a Nautilus window (i.e., open any folder window). Press Ctrl+B (or click Bookmarks > Edit Bookmarks...). You should see a list of your bookmarks on the left, and one of them should be AWCCNAELSG.iso. When you select it, its location will appear in the text box under Location, on the right. Don't modify that text--just select it, copy it to the clipboard (Ctrl+C), and paste it here. That should provide the information actionparsnip has requested.

/home/ray/Downloads/acetoneiso_2.3, I hope this clears up what I mean
But I see the gui of acetoneiso under applications in Sound and Video
but when I click on the gui and try to play the dvd it will not work
I am sorry for being such a pain

ok then run:

sudo mkdir /media/iso; clear; sudo mount -o loop /home/ray/Downloads/acetoneiso_2.3.iso /media/iso

Should do it.

Can you help with this problem?
