I've just done the following - all in one line, which Evolution keeps
splitting up for some reason.

mount -o
ro,loop /mnt/dvdimage/novell-suse-linux-professional-9.2-dvd1-of-dvd2.iso /mnt/tmp

I had to do it as root, but that may have something to do with
permissions in /mnt 

There are no entries for /mnt/tmp in /etc/fstab either.

Permissions in /mnt are root root for /mnt/tmp

Bog standard SuSE 9.2 kernel.
