Other Help Topics :: Extracting file from dsl-xxxx.iso

If I understand correctly, new versions of DSL consist of the files KNOPPIX , linux24 , and minirt24.gz
So that if I want to update my frugal hard drive installation, I replace those files with the new ones.

So instead of burning the new dsl-xxxx.iso to CD-R with burncdcc etc, can I just extract the 3 files from it?

I looked in the forums and by Google, and am asking for how to do this, with a freeware utility.

I have seen mentions of isobuster , but apparently it's shareware. Are there Linux programs to extract the files from the .iso ?

Many thanks,

Sheldon

Yes, exist an utility: Kiso

Other tip: Also for extract iso images over Linux plataform, you can do:

1) Download from Internet iso image dsl-xxx.iso to hard disk
2) Create folder /mnt/iso
3) cd to folder where you have downloaded dsl-xxx.iso
4) mount -o loop -t iso9660 dsl-xxx.iso /mnt/iso

In folder /mnt/iso you will have the files extracted from dsl-xxx.iso !!!
