All of them resulted in the file not found output. Here are 2 > mount -r -o loop /home/yumrepository/FC-5-i386-disc1.iso disc1 Did you specify a full path to "disc1"? If not, is there a "disc1" directory in your _current_ directory? I'm willing to bet the "file not found" is referencing the mountpoint, not the ISO file. Try this: # mkdir /mnt/disc1 # mount -r -o loop /home/yumrepository/FC-5-i386-disc1.iso /mnt/disc1 And the "-r" is optional...you can't write to an ISO disk anyway--the disk is "full". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - "Hello.
