with a simple mount command. you simply mount the ISO image to a local
directory on the disk, and share it (via samba, for sharing with window$)
issue (as root) :
mount -o loop /path-to.isoname.iso /mnt/mountpoint.
replace isoname.iso with the iso image name, and /mnt/mountpoint with the full
path to the directory you mount to.
samba sharing is another issue, see www.samba.org for more details, or search
for documentation at www.linuxdoc.org .
good luck, ;)
