This is one of those things that might seem daunting at first, but trust me, it’s not as complicated as it sounds.
First off, lets talk about why you would want to do this in the first place. Maybe you downloaded an ISO image with a broken file or maybe you just need to make some changes before installing it on your server. Whatever the reason may be, we’ve got you covered!
Now, let’s get started. Before anything else open up your terminal and mount that sucker using the following command:
bash
# This script is used to mount an ISO image to a specified mount point.
# It is useful for fixing broken ISO images or making changes before installation.
# To use this script, open your terminal and run the following command:
# Mounts the ISO image to the specified mount point using the loop option.
# The path to the ISO image and the mount point must be provided as arguments.
mount -o loop /path/to/your/iso_image /mnt/point
Replace `/path/to/your/iso_image` with the path to your ISO image, and replace `/mnt/point` with a directory where you want to mount it. For example:
# This script mounts an ISO image to a specified directory using the loop option.
# Replace the path to the ISO image and the mount directory with your own.
# Mount the ISO image to the specified directory using the loop option.
# The -o flag specifies options to be used, in this case, the loop option.
# The ~ symbol represents the home directory, so this script assumes the ISO image is in the Downloads folder.
# The mount directory can also be changed to a desired location.
mount -o loop ~/Downloads/ubuntu-20.04.1-live-server-amd64.iso /mnt/my_iso
Once your ISO image is mounted, you can navigate to the directory where it’s mounted and start making changes:
# This script navigates to the directory where the ISO image is mounted.
# Change directory to the mount point of the ISO image.
cd /mnt/my_iso
Now that we have access to our ISO image, let’s say we want to modify a file called `grub.cfg`. To do this, simply open the file using your favorite text editor and make your changes:
# This script opens the file "grub.cfg" using the text editor "nano"
nano grub.cfg
Once you’re done making your changes, save and exit the file. Now let’s unmount our ISO image:
# This script unmounts the ISO image from the specified mount point.
# It should be run after making changes to the ISO image.
# Unmount the ISO image from the specified mount point.
umount /mnt/my_iso
And that’s it! You can now burn this modified ISO to a DVD or USB drive and install it on your server with all of your changes intact.
Am I right?”
