/media/distributionA/DVDn.iso

Goal:
Extract pool directory (and all of its sub-directories) resulting in
/media/distributionA/poolA/
/media/distributionA/poolA/contrib
/media/distributionA/poolA/main

What commands should I be looking at?

You can mount an iso using the "-o loop" option to "mount" (see the man
page under "THE LOOP DEVICE"). So, you can say, for example:

  mount -o loop /media/distributionA/DVD.iso /mnt
  cp /mnt/* /media/deistributionA/poolA/

'umount' won't need any special options to umount that device.

Will have to check to see if that or orrisox best fits some personal preferences.
Thank you.
