Exactly what I was looking for does not exist.
I had a poor recollection of a partially understood article.

I don't grok loop devices. Wikipedia summarizes by saying "In Unix-like 
operating systems, a loop device ... is a pseudo-device that makes a 
computer file accessible as a block device."

Also the article I read evidently took advantage of "mount" being able 
to loop mount without the loop option being explicitly referenced.

I have a machine dedicated to install experiments and a low data cap on 
my internet access. I wish to have the ISO's of all install DVDs on a 
dedicated partition of my hard drive as a local repository.
