@Humpleupagus @matty @tyler Uhh, please excuse my rank n00btardery, but the following, and also when I checked if I even have fs:

$ fs
bash: fs: command not found

> How do you use the Linux terminal command fs to look at an ISO file?

The `fs` command you're asking about doesn't exist as a standard Linux command. However, there are several ways to examine and work with ISO files in the Linux terminal. Here are the most common approaches:

## 1. **Mount the ISO file** (Most Common)
```bash
# Create a mount point
sudo mkdir /mnt/iso

# Mount the ISO file
sudo mount -o loop filename.iso /mnt/iso

# Browse the contents
ls -la /mnt/iso/

# When done, unmount it
sudo umount /mnt/iso
```

## 2. **Use `isoinfo`** (Examine without mounting)
```bash
# Show basic ISO information
isoinfo -d -i filename.iso

# List all files in the ISO
isoinfo -l -i filename.iso

# Extract a specific file
isoinfo -i filename.iso -x /path/to/file
```

## 3. **Use `file` command** (Identify file type)
```bash
file filename.iso
```

## 4. **Use `7z` or `bsdtar`** (Extract contents)
```bash
# Using 7z
7z x filename.iso

# Using bsdtar
bsdtar -xf filename.iso
```

## Installation if tools are missing:
```bash
# For isoinfo (usually in genisoimage or cdrtools package)
sudo apt install genisoimage # Debian/Ubuntu
sudo yum install genisoimage # CentOS/RHEL

# For 7z
sudo apt install p7zip-full # Debian/Ubuntu
sudo yum install p7zip # CentOS/RHEL

# For bsdtar
sudo apt install libarchive-tools # Debian/Ubuntu
```

The **mount method** is typically the most useful as it gives you full read access to the ISO's file system as if it were a physical disc.

Were you perhaps thinking of a different command, or is there something specific you're trying to accomplish with the ISO file?

@Humpleupagus @matty @tyler Oh for FUCK'S SAKE. Apparently my distro can't fucking explore an ISO without mounting or burning it to a thumb drive, of which I have no empty ones, and my Blu-Ray drive broke years ago. And search engines OF COURSE ARE ZERO HELP. Resorting to chat AI, it only tells me several command-line applications. Which I can't install, because my APT is fucked up (I can't install, or even upgrade, any of my applications, the kernel, or any part of the OS) because I haven't updated my distro version in several years, so now all the configs point to the old Debian servers and I don't want to bother figuring out how to get APT to point to the new Debian servers. I really need to hurry my ass up and buy that new PC so I can throw this 11-yo boomer in the trash.

Edit: oh wait, I have 7z already! Well, lemme give 'er a try.

Gonna take maybe 3-7 minutes to extract everything, it's only at like 10% so far, but here's this:

Oh wait, that's too big to paste here. And I can't remember that website where you just paste, then share the link. And I can't find it by using a search engine. GOD DAMN IT.

@Humpleupagus @matty @tyler I once again had to ask DeepSeek, and it told me of pastebin.com

I hope this works.

@Humpleupagus @matty @tyler Man, if you can get your hands on such artifacts, I hope you share photos, especially if they run! And if you can somehow take and share screenshots, all the cooler.

@Humpleupagus @matty @tyler I wish I knew what I did with those old Apple servers my high school were throwing away, then let me take a few home. I got one with OS 7, and another with OS 8 which I later installed OS 9. I had all sorts of install discs, even a color printer! But I almost certainly tossed them out like ten to fifteen years ago. 😢 I wrote a couple dozen page fanfic on that using SimpleText, as well as played ROMs from an equivalent of ZSNES. I remember popping open the servers and playing around with the guts a bit, too. I think I installed more RAM onto one of them, then switched the two floppy drives with each other for no reason other than to see if it'd still work. (It did!)

@Humpleupagus @matty @tyler Interesting! I do enjoy me some retraux interfaces; earlier I looked through that Toasty Tech GUI screenshot page, and I'd certainly like to play with some of those ancient or not-so-old computers running like OS/2 Warp, React, Morph, or even as venerable as Max OS 7 and 8, 98lite and 2000 Professional, Gnome 1 and KDE 3! Had some nostalgiagasms looking at MS-DOS and ZZT and Xtree Gold and IAMS (not the dog food, but Instant Access Menu System). Could get used to this, especially if it's lightweight and functional with basic web browsing and vidya from games first dropped around 2010. :azusa_think:

@Humpleupagus @matty @tyler :uoh_salute: Sounds good! Not even sure I wanted to try a Commodore 64 clone, I just liked their retraux KDE Plasma 6 custom and the fact it was an MX Linux fork, plus I've never even seen an Amiga PC and trying something new sounds like a fun time. Hell, I might as well just get the latest MX Linux or something. Or maybe Neptune OS for no other reason than Neptune's kind of a cool name, and do I really care to try avoiding systemD in the first place, which is why I first tried Slackware then MX? Or say fuck Linux and try Haiku or FreeBe or GhostBSD or something. But if I do that I can't play Minecraft nor Vintage Story, even if I can play Luanti (formerly Minetest). But that's the only thing stopping me from trying *BSD or an OpenSolaris fork just to try something exotic for its own sake.

@Humpleupagus @matty @tyler Oh by the way, the torrent resumed when I deleted like 80gb of FLACs I personally ripped from my CD collection from as far back as the early 00's, like 25-40 of 'em. I'm now curious what the fuck is in this ISO; will report after a thorough investigation!

@Humpleupagus @matty @tyler Okay, looking at other Linux ISOs, all of them are either small enough to fit in a DVD-R or at most 2gb. :shrug5: Maybe it's just this Commodore OS is just mega-bloated with like six gorillion Amiga games or something and they just don't tell?

I looked at their website and they sell retraux Commodore 64s running Commodore OS, but their specs are pathetic, like 128mb RAM. I guess that's okay if you don't intend to interface it with anything involving the Internet or other computers past 1995.

@Humpleupagus @matty @tyler The ISO for Commodore OS Vision 3.0 Beta 8 is 35.24gb. I couldn't tell you why, no idea what all they packed into this thing. I just assumed because of enshittification, your average modern Linux ISO was just fuckhuge now and almost everyone didn't mind.

I really want to make my next PC run Commodore OS, simply because it's an MX Linux fork running a custom KDE Plasma 6 redesigned to look and feel like the interface of venerable Commodore 64.

But if this thing keeps shitting me -- it just flashed an error, but the error was on screen for like 1/20th a second and I only caught "I/O device error", what the fuck is my drive suddenly about to die? This thing's been running nearly non-stop, almost never even being rebooted for nearly 11 years, so maybe.

But I see my hard drive just ran out of space. Sigh. It's what I get for stubbornly sticking with the same 256 SSD I originally put into this tower in 2014... this PC does have a 2tb black whatchamacallit, but that died like five years ago and I never even bothered to pull it out or even unplug it.

What the FUCK is this SHIT, I have NEVER SEEN ANY PAGE OR URL like it before this hour:

webtorrent:https://distrowatch.com/dwres/torrents/commodore-os-vision-3.0.torrent

I can't understand any of this shit. I try to download the torrent from their bizarre web interface, but the page crashes before like fifteen minutes, AND THE ISO IS 35gb and I only have a 25mbps connection! I try to download it directly, BUT IT REFUSES TO DOWNLOAD if this web-app torrent ISN'T ALSO DOWNLOADING AT THE SAME TIME?!?

WTF WTF WTF
WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN
HELP HELP I'M BEING REPRESSED
I HATE THE MODERN WEB
I HATE THE MODERN INTERNET
I HATE MODERN DIGITAL TECH
I HATE MODERN ANALOG TECH
I HATE THE ANTICHRIST

@Humpleupagus @matty @tyler Have you guys or any other tech-junkies even heard of anything like the above website, if it even is a website? Maybe y'all can laugh, cry, or both about this...

@egirlyuumimain Nigger-brains cannot into Survivorship Bias. It's not that hard -- or maybe it is if your IQ is under 120. Mental midgets. Inferior minds. Embarrassments to Aryanhood and masculinity. Stop trying to think, you will never be educable, you are mentally handicapped, no amount of holding a book of multi-dimensional equations in front of a drooling donkey's face will grow its neurons.
