Make sure that you are root, and that you have loopback compiled into 
your kernel (or as a module) and run the command:

mount -o loop <isoimagefilename> <mountpoint>

So if my iso image filename was /home/ashari/bigfile.iso, I could mount 
it to /mnt/iso like:
mount -o loop /home/ashari/bigfile.iso /mnt/iso
and then you can cd right to the directory /mnt/iso and do with it what 
you want :)

Have fun!
