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. :)
