You do not extract it, but you mount it via a loopback device.
As root make a directory for example
Then you can mount your ISO file there:
| Code: | | mount -o loop path/to/iso-file /mnt/tmp |
After that you can enter it like any other directory and look at its contents.
Ofcourse you can then copy the files from the iso file (or rather: from /mnt/tmp) to anywhere you want thus kind of extracting it.  |

hi again
i make it and it came an error....
mount: Could not find any loop device, and, according to /proc/devices,
this kernel does not know about the loop device.
(If so, then recompile or `modprobe loop'.)
thnx crisler |

Do you have support for the loopback device in your kernel? It's under "Block devices".

you'll need to enable kernel support for loop devices and recompile the kernel

first go to /usr/src/linux and type make menuconfig
go in to block devices and enable loop.
then save it and type
make dep && make clean bzImage && make modules && make modules_install
and copy your new bzImage to /boot
now I know I'm lousy at explaining things

| and before copying bzImage to /boot you have to mount your boot partition cause it's been unmounted after the boot sequence! |
