Try something like this:

#> ls -l `locate *.iso`

Note that those are backticks, below the tilde on a US keyboard. They 
contain the response from locate, backfeeding to the ls -l.

And that if you also want a total file count, append a "|wc -l" to the 
above command line, without the dbl-quotes of course. :)
