Extract ISO Files to Local Directory

If you would like to extract ISO files into a directory on your local machine, please do the following (should work on all *NIX machines, but I run Ubuntu).

mkdir /home/raja/extract
sudo mount -o loop -t iso9660 "location of ur iso" /home/raja/extract

This should extract your ISO into /home/raja/extract.

For the tech-savvy readers, "loop" option will make the source file read as a block device. You would typically need to give a location where it can be mounted (say, /dev/loop2) but if you dont give any, its picks up the first free loop file.
ISO9660 is the standard for CD files. Wikipedia has a nice entry about this.
