How to access the "Packages" directory on the f23 and f24 Workstation iso image?

[fred roller]

Mount -o loop file.iso ./somedirectory/you/made

I believe will mount your image

Most archive managers will open an iso file as well. Booting a live usb/dvd
would allow for exploring.

To be certain:

	mount -o loop -t iso9660 /path/to/file.iso /desired/mountpoint

The "-t iso9660" ensures a CDROM-style FS is used. It should autodetect
it, but "belt and suspenders" is never a bad idea.

And, after you did all that and mounted all the other file systems contained on the
LiveCD
you'd find that there is no "Packages" directory.  :-)

It isn't needed since the "install to disk" process simply copies whole
directories from
the rootfs.img to where it is needed and doesn't do package installs like the DVD
installs
of older releases.
