[NTLUG:Discuss] ISO Extractor?

[Burton Strauss]

You *should* be able to use the loop device, then share the resulting
directory.  But I haven't tried it in a while...

man mount...

THE LOOP DEVICE
       One further possible type is a mount via the loop device. For
example, the command

         mount /tmp/fdimage /mnt -t msdos -o loop=/dev/loop3,blocksize=1024

       will  set  up  the loop device /dev/loop3 to correspond to the file
/tmp/fdimage, and then mount this
       device on /mnt.  This type of mount knows about three options, namely
loop,  offset  and  encryption,
       that  are  really options to losetup(8).  If no explicit loop device
is mentioned (but just an option
       '-o loop' is given), then mount will try to find some unused loop
device and use that.   If  you  are
       not  so unwise as to make /etc/mtab a symbolic link to /proc/mounts
then any loop device allocated by
       mount will be freed by umount.  You can also free a loop device by
hand, using 'losetup -d', see los-
       etup(8)

Can I extract the CentOS 4.0 ISOs to the network and then do an install from
the network?  If yes, how do I extract the contents of the ISO into the full
CD directory structure?

Thanks.
