how to unpack .iso files on solaris?

Hi to all,

Its, I believe simple, and direct question...what command do I use to umcompress an iso file on solaris....

Tks,

You don't "unpack" an ISO file. You just mount it as a filesystem... if I recall correctly:

mkdir /mnt/cdrom
mount -F hsfs -o ro /path/to/file.iso /mnt/cdrom

If that doesn't work try -F iso9660... not sure that's available on Solaris though.

Then you can just copy the files off it if you want them to be stored outside the ISO image.

A friend of mine gave me this command I will test it...
(you must be root to perform this)


root@inspiration> lofiadm -a {complete path to the iso} /dev/lofi/1
root@inspiration> lofiadm
Block Device File
/dev/lofi/1 {path to the iso}

root@inspiration> mount -f hsfs /dev/lofi/1 /mnt/
root@inspiration> cd /mnt

Anyway tks a lot for the reply...

Seems I didn't recall correctly at all.
