    A nice way to mount iso images as a regular user without needing su,
    sudo or an entry in fstab is to use fuse. The kernel module for fuse is
    included in 10.0, but unfortunately the userspace tools aren't, but they
    are pretty easy to install

    Have a look at http://fuse.sourceforge.net for more information
