Re: Unable to mount .iso file

It's because of the mount syntax. Comma is the seperator for seperate
options, use a space to seperate the '-o' and the 'loop' (ie, this way
it will see an empty option between -o and loop, resulting in invalid
option ''). Try this:
mount -t ios9660 -o loop ./RHEL[...].iso /media
