Mount Linux System Image: Step-by-Step

There are two methods for mounting a Linux system image: using the command line or using the graphical interface.

1. Command line mode:
2. Open the terminal and create an empty folder for mounting the image using the following command: $ sudo mkdir /mnt/image
3. Mount the image file to the newly created folder using the following command: $ sudo mount -o loop /path/to/image.iso /mnt/image
4. Now you can access the contents of the image file by visiting the /mnt/image directory.
5. After finishing mounting, use the following command to unmount the image file: $ sudo umount /mnt/image
6. GUI method:
7. Right-click on the image file and select the “Mount Image” option.
8. The system will automatically create a folder and mount the image file to that folder.
9. The mirror file will appear as an accessible folder in the file manager, allowing you to directly access its contents by clicking on it.
10. To uninstall the image file, you can right-click on the mounted folder and select the “Unmount” option.

No matter which method is used, commands need to be executed with administrator privileges (sudo).
