Is there any possible way to do this in a non-root account. I want to be able to unmount the iso from the icon it creates on the desktop. I can mount cds and usb drives in my non-root account but iso's need root?

tank u for this how to,i think in order to mount we should specify the folder on which we want to mount the .iso file. so the mount command should look like this :
“sudo mount -o loop /home/shamanstears/Documents/test.iso /media/iso”

The instructions are missing the mounting point. The correct command is:

sudo mount -o loop /home/shamanstears/Documents/test.iso /media/iso

when i do that, i get the message: mount: can't find /path/to/iso in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab,
instead i issue this:
sudo mount -t iso9660 -o loop /path/to/iso /path/to/dir
which doesn't rely on any auto mounting, or mapping extras that not all might have
