First you could create a mount point, for example: # mkdir /media/images or you could use too /media/floppy or /media/cdrom, but it is better to have different mountpoints. Next: # mount -o ro,loop,nodev,noexec,noatime /path/to/file.img /media/images You could use other options with -o, check the man of mount : ) Cheers, Sergio -- "Meine Hoffnung soll mich leiten Durch die Tage ohne Dich Und die Liebe soll mich tragen Wenn der Schmerz die Hoffnung bricht"
