If you're in an xterm you can paste the contents into another program (like
emacs) with the middle button on the mouse (or both buttons at the same time if
you're using a two button mouse emulating a 3 button mouse.) I assume this will
work from a console, but I've never tried it....

Uh oohhhh, time to recompile the kernel with support for iso9660 (can this be
done as a loadable module?) Don't worry, recompiling kernels isn't that bad
unless you've got a wierd hardware set-up.
