This is a nice little pair of scripts I wrote that help automate mounting and unmounting iso images. The script will create and handle mountpoints derived from the user's home path and keeps a list of mounted isos. Known problems include the fact that if you manually unmount an image it can screw up the process. It's a rather plain shell script, so you should be able to run it under most distros.
