Since an iso is an image of a CD, then yes it is path to the iso image and
the last part is the complete name of the iso image file. Let's say the
iso image file is named(complete) something.iso and it is stored in a user
directory. You already have created a sub-directory named is09660 located
in the /mnt directory. The user name is fred then as per the example;

/bin/mount -t iso9660 /home/fred/something.iso /mnt/iso9660 -ro
