What is the fastest way to extract an ISO?
Currently I'm mounting an ISO to a (readonly) directory (using mount -o loop command) and then copying the contents to another normal directory. This takes lot of time as the ISO is large. Is this the only way to do so, or is there some alternative?

you can do this by 7zip software:
sudo apt-get install p7zip-full
7z x iso_file.iso
on Fedora:
7za x iso_file.iso

bsdtar (part of the portable libarchive) can parse lots of file formats . This is handy for those whose fingers are very familiar with tar's options (bsdtar xfp foo.iso to extract, bsdtar tf yoyoma.rpm to just inspect the contents).
There's also a bsdcpio for those who are familiar with cpio's usage.
Many linux distros now include bsdtar, bsdcpio and libarchive (often as separate packages although it all comes from the libarchive code).

If you really need something more fast, you should probably look in a different direction: instead of changing software, try to use different disks: one for the source image and one for the target directory. Or, try to avoid copying these files and just keep them in the iso image.

Why not use:
isoinfo -R -X
to extract all files or
isoinfo -R -X -find find-options
to extract files controlled by the find options?

Correct, Debian created a fork on May 2004 and did never make any useful progress since then. All enhancements in the original code since than was ignored and this was a lot: more than 60% of the current code in the cdrtools project is from past 2004. In other words more than 50% of the features of a recent original cdrtools is missing in the Debian fork.

BTW: the Debian fork was created in May 2004, the name cdrkit was used after I asked Debian in September 2006 not to use the original name anymore for a fork with more than 100 Debian specific bugs. Given that all distros that asked a specialized lawyer ship the original cdrtools, I cannot see a proof for a license issue.

As I carefully follow all requirements from the licenses (I checked this with several lawyers), I cannot see a license issue. Given the fact that Debian claimed a license issue long before the licenses have been changed, I suspect a "red herring" here. To continue with my time-line from above: Debian claimed a license issue from a non existing change in Autumn 2005, but the license change happened on May 15 2006 in order to defend against the attacks from Eduard Bloch and Jörg Jaspert.

For those who use Thunar file manager on linux and want easy and fast solution:
- Open thunar --> Edit --> Configure custom actions...
- Create new item:
- Name: Extract ISO here
- Description: Extracts ISO file
- Command:
xfce4-terminal -e "7z x %f"
- Open tab Appearance Conditions
- Prefix:
*.iso
- Select only
Other filescheckbox
- Prefix:
- Save it and you are ready to extract using right click.
Note that this trick uses and depends on xfce4-terminal and p7zip packages. If you are using different archive manager or terminal - replace commands accordingly.

Try genisoimage. It has all you need to handle ISOs. After you install it you'll also be able to use mc to view ISO content.

Why not use:
isoinfo -R -X
to extract all files or
isoinfo -R -X -find find-options
to extract files controlled by the find options?

Note that it assumes theisoinfofrom schily'scdrtools. That won't work with the one found on Debian (fromcdrkita Debian fork ofcdrtools(for licensing reasons AFAICT)).

Correct, Debian created a fork on May 2004 and did never make any useful progress since then. All enhancements in the original code since than was ignored and this was a lot: more than 60% of the current code in the cdrtools project is from past 2004. In other words more than 50% of the features of a recent original cdrtools is missing in the Debian fork.

BTW: the Debian fork was created in May 2004, the name cdrkit was used after I asked Debian in September 2006 not to use the original name anymore for a fork with more than 100 Debian specific bugs. Given that all distros that asked a specialized lawyer ship the original cdrtools, I cannot see a proof for a license issue.

As I carefully follow all requirements from the licenses (I checked this with several lawyers), I cannot see a license issue. Given the fact that Debian claimed a license issue long before the licenses have been changed, I suspect a "red herring" here. To continue with my time-line from above: Debian claimed a license issue from a non existing change in Autumn 2005, but the license change happened on May 15 2006 in order to defend against the attacks from Eduard Bloch and Jörg Jaspert.

For those who use Thunar file manager on linux and want easy and fast solution:
- Open thunar --> Edit --> Configure custom actions...
- Create new item:
- Name: Extract ISO here
- Description: Extracts ISO file
- Command:
xfce4-terminal -e "7z x %f"
- Open tab Appearance Conditions
- Prefix:
*.iso
- Select only
Other filescheckbox
- Prefix:
- Save it and you are ready to extract using right click.
Note that this trick uses and depends on xfce4-terminal and p7zip packages. If you are using different archive manager or terminal - replace commands accordingly.

Try genisoimage. It has all you need to handle ISOs. After you install it you'll also be able to use mc to view ISO content.
