I think he wants to mount it on his Amiga.

@klx300r
You could try one of these:
http://aminet.net/search?query=mount+iso

Alternatively, you can just make a zip file of the contents of the CD, put that on your CF card, unzip it on to a hard disk on your Amiga, then mount AmigaOS3.9: to that drawer and it should install from there.

Edit -
Re-read your post and my reply didn't make sense. Those mounting tools would require you to copy the ISO to your CF card and mount it directly on the Amiga. You *could* use Daemon Tools to mount it on the PC and then share it on the network with something like SMBFS on the Amiga, but I don't think this would work very well.

1) mount the ISO of 3.5 on their pc
2) extract the files from the ISO onto a CF card
3) Take the CF card to the miggy
4) Install 3.5 onto the CF card and boot from it

I could be wrong but that's what it looks like to me

At first I thought he wanted to:

1) Make an ISO of 3.9
2) Put the ISO on his CF card
3) Mount the ISO on his Amiga and use it like a real CD-ROM

But I only thought that because I didn't read his first post properly ;-) I think he wants to make an ISO of 3.9 then mount it on a PC and then share it. Not really sure why he needs to make an ISO to do that when he could just share the CD-ROM drive directly and access that across the network using SMBFS or over FTP.

I think you're better off doing steps 1, 2 & 3 but copy the files to a HD partition and install to the CF card from there (as moto said in his post)

Just be careful where you copy the files. Putting them on non-Amiga filesystems might cause you to lose file attributes (like the executable bit on executable programmes) and things will break.
