Unpack dslx.x.iso, copy unpacked files to usb stick

Unpack an ISO?

Hows that done?

I know we can mount an ISO like a file system.

Extracting files from ISO image under Linux

1. Create a folder to mount the image, in this example /mnt/iso

2. Change to directory where you have downloaded dsl-xxx.iso so, if dsl-xxx.iso is inside /home/dsl/folder_iso then:

cd /home/dsl/folder_iso

3. type this command:

mount -o loop -t iso9660 dsl-xxx.iso /mnt/iso

Inside /mnt/iso folder you will have the files extracted from dsl-xxx.iso file. Then you can copy the files where you want or need before umount the /mnt/iso folder.

Ok That's what I thought, that's mounting the ISO, not unpacking.

I just didn't understand your termanalogy.

I was aware that one could mount a ISO like a file system and then copy the content out. Make changes and creat a new ISO. But when I read unpack the ISO I thought there was a method to unpack them sort of like unpacking a gz file or a tar file.
