Here's another suggested way to set up permanent /etc/fstab entries:

# ISO loopback mountable filesystems
#
# Fedora Core 1
/pub/yarrow-i386-disc1.iso  /mnt/fc1/1 iso9660 noauto,users,loop,ro 0 0
/pub/yarrow-i386-disc2.iso  /mnt/fc1/2 iso9660 noauto,users,loop,ro 0 0
/pub/yarrow-i386-disc3.iso  /mnt/fc1/3 iso9660 noauto,users,loop,ro 0 0
/pub/yarrow-SRPMS-disc1.iso /mnt/fc1/4 iso9660 noauto,users,loop,ro 0 0
/pub/yarrow-SRPMS-disc2.iso /mnt/fc1/5 iso9660 noauto,users,loop,ro 0 0
/pub/yarrow-SRPMS-disc3.iso /mnt/fc1/6 iso9660 noauto,users,loop,ro 0 0
#

While vi(m) may appear to fuss about the 'users' and 'loop' entries,
they are valid. In fact, I prefer 'users' rather than 'user' because it
allows any logged on user to mount and use an ISO image with:

$ mount /mnt/fc1/_    <-- complete command with 1..6
