Using a ISO file to create a virtual CD-ROM Drive

Alexander,

The hard part here is to figure out that we need a loopback file system, 
then need to look for "loop"... You know it. I know it. But the person 
who asked the question obviously didn't... so it's normal that he didn't 
have the idea to search for "loop".

On the other hand, asking Google for "linux mount cdrom virtual iso" 
definitely (first answer given by google) has the actual useful command 
line in it...

In any case, I definitely like the first answer which gives the command 
line. This is a nice reference. Clear, direct, and immediately useful.

Gilles.
