You can open ISOs in any archive program and extract their contents. No need to mount it. Unless... You need it mounted?

Which you can easily setup.
the command isomount
is the simplest method.
Or a thunar custom action here

What is the problem?
Mark the iso with the file manager of your choice and then go to "open with" and there you will be offered, among other things, to read images. At least with thunar and pcmanfm this works without any problems, just tried it :)

Virtual Box will mount it, and more.
A live USB is a more common scenario that MX Live USB Maker manages well.
It's all about what you want to do with that iso?

methinks this OP might be a poorly researched complaint.... Mods: might I suggest this thread be closed. I know you eagerly have awaited my suggestion... not.

We haven't heard from the OP yet, so I suggest we wait. Nothing is going on here just yet that gives reason TO close it.

Yes, I need it mounted. Why the hell would I want to extract anything? What good would that do?Arnox wrote: Mon Apr 15, 2024 2:50 pmYou can open ISOs in any archive program and extract their contents. No need to mount it. Unless... You need it mounted?
lolwut?
Great suggestion for virtual machines. Not so much for bare metal.
You realize that only works when trying to create LINUX Live USB sticks, right? And it has nothing to do with literally any other kind of disk that someone might have made an ISO of?tascoast wrote: Tue Apr 16, 2024 3:50 amA live USB is a more common scenario that MX Live USB Maker manages well.
Mount it, obviously.
Thanks, will read.
