There isn't much to understand. :)

That's the right command, but I'm assuming (sorry; I'm linguistically
impaired) it's telling you "No such file or directory". Try it in the
directory which contains your actual downloaded .iso files.

Also, there's no need to be doing this as root. It's better do to most
operations as a normal user, and only use root when it's really needed. This
practice helps protect against viruses, and it also helps keep you from
accidentally shooting yourself in the foot.
