I'm new to Linux and just installed ubuntu 12.04 amd64 this month.
I had failed installing Texlive with texlive2012 iso image.
I used the recommended command to mount:
"mount -t iso9660 -o ro,loop,noauto /your/texlive2012.iso /mnt "
But the installer failed to read some file.

The iso is fine, I checked the md5.
I extracted everything from iso with archive manager,
and it installed successfully.

So, why mount is not working? Thanks.

UPDATE
with furius iso mount tool, mount with Fuse, and it installed, with warning:

Summary of warning messages during installation:
Downloaded ./archive/calligra-type1.tar.xz, size equal, but md5sum differs;
downloading again.

While mount with Loop, it failed to install.
Updated Error message from terminal, mounted with furius iso mount, loop.

I am sure that the iso is fine. I can open it with archive manager and all files are good. But after mounting it, even archive manager failed to open some files (which can be opened when the iso is opened in archive manager).
