Re: Extract ISO image

How can a non-root user (so I can't mount anything as a loopback FS) extract an ISO image without writing and then mounting a CD.

'isoinfo' can (as far as I understand) only extract a single file at a time. I guess it would be possible to use this program in conjunction with 'awk' to extract a whole ISO-image, but I can't seem to find anything like that on the net. Eventually I will try to do this myself, if no other suggestions appear...

I found the solution, a perl script:

http://ftp.sun.ac.za/ftp/iso-images/morphix/uniso

It seems that this script was meant for a different version of isoinfo than the one I have, so I had to make a correction on line 54: change the number 67 to 64, or else all the filenames will loose the first 3 characters...
