You know, I'd love to have a button on my computer that just says 'Mount All The ISOs!' and does this whole process automatically. Maybe I should start a tech company and make that happen.

Wait, we have to download the ISO, create the mount point, and edit the fstab file? Sounds like a lot of work just to mount an ISO. Where's the 'sudo mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom' option when you need it?

Using the fstab file allows for the ISO to be mounted automatically at boot, saving time in the long run.

It may seem like a lot of steps, but it ensures the ISO is mounted correctly and persists after reboot.

Ah, the good old 'mount -a' command to make it all work seamlessly. As long as the ISO is accessible, this should do the trick!

This looks like a straightforward procedure, but I'm not sure about the automatic mounting at boot-start. Does that require any additional configuration?

Right, and we also need to edit the /etc/fstab file to make sure the mount takes effect automatically at boot.

Yes, we need to download the boot.iso file to /root and then set up the mount point under /media/cdrom.

I think the question is asking us to download a file and set it up to be automatically mounted at boot.
