Quoting Brian Derr <bderr at myrealbox.com>:

>   mount -o loop,ro -t iso9660 /path/to/file.iso /mnt/iso

If interested in cutting down on your typing you can drop a few options from
that command...

mount -o loop /path/to/file.iso /mnt/iso

- ro is redundant information as they file format is read-only
- "-t 9660" - most versions of mount that I've tried will examine the first few
sectors and guess the type (it's yet to guess wrongly for me).
