Right...

Stryker:
cat myfile.iso > /dev/hdb

Or, do you mean emulating that an iso is a CD, and not actually waste a hard drive as a cd? In which case, remove /dev/cdrom, copy the iso to /dev/cdrom, and then mount the iso. Applications usually look at /dev/cdrom as one of the common places for a cdrom (which is usually a symlink to /dev/hdc, or some other drive).

When finished, move /dev/cdrom to the original file, and make /dev/cdrom go to the cdrom drive again (ln -s /dev/hdc /dev/cdrom)

Sorry, I thought this was a BeOS question!

Can the relevant moderator move this to GNU/Linux please?

KernelPanic:
And to view the contents of an iso file on Linux, the easiest way I find is:

mount -o loop /path/to/stuff.iso /mnt/cdrom
