Oops. "mount -o loop,ro /path-to-iso/yarrow-i386-disc1.iso /mnt/cdrom" will work much better ;-)
No problem David; I saw the mistake? Now what worries me is:
I can mount my Mandrake's root partition (hda6) and browse it. So I can see the 3 'Yarrow' ISO's, all right.
But, when I enter the mount command like you suggest:
mount -o loop,ro /dev/hda6/yarrow/yarrow-i386-disc1.iso /mnt/disc1
It doesn't agree, I get:
/dev/hda6/yarrow/yarrow-i386-disc1.iso: Not a directory
Weird...
Not weird, at all. You can't mount a file from a device. You need to actually specify the path, as it is actually mounted. If /dev/hda6 is actually mounted at /usr/local/discs, then you want to mount /usr/local/discs/yarrow/yarrow-i386-disc1.iso.
