I'm running into trouble trying to mount a large iso:

dev@dev-OptiPlex-745:~$ sudo mount -o loop /home/dev/Hämtningar/matlab2011a_64.iso /cdrom

mount: warning: /cdrom seems to be mounted read-only.

dev@dev-OptiPlex-745:~$

Can you tell me how I should do it?

Try mounting it using a GUI.

Navigate to the *.iso file using a file manager, then Right click -> Open with Archive Mounter.

Or you can install the Furius ISO Mount. It is available in the Ubuntu Software Center:

sudo apt-get install furiusisomount
