#157672 — Extracting directories from an ISO image, command line tool?

Environment:
Using dd I have copied physical [NO INTERNET AVAILABLE ;] Debian 
DVD's to
/media/distributionA resulting in
/media/distributionA/DVD1.iso
/media/distributionA/DVD2.iso
.
.
/media/distributionA/DVDn.iso

Goal:
Extract pool directory (and all of its sub-directories) resulting in
/media/distributionA/poolA/
/media/distributionA/poolA/contrib
/media/distributionA/poolA/main

What commands should I be looking at?
TIA

I'd use mc (midnight commander) for that. Open ISO, tag files and copy.
It saves having to think about commands. :)

I'd also dispense with the dd part and just mount the media somwhere.

I explicitly tried to eliminate GUI and GUI-like responses by 
subject line.
I did however browse the man page. It might work.
Besides I like to think - that's why I dumped the Windows 
approach of BIG DADDY knows best ;!

VIOLATES 1st line of "Environment". Please note verb tense.

Actually, no; "the media" can mean "the ISO(s)", just as well as it can
mean "the physical disc(s)". And if you don't have the ISOs, you
certainly can't extract anything from them.

I have. It's the "present". Do I get points now?

"have copied" is PAST tense - *not* PRESENT tense.

Some languages have an explicit form denoting "an action 
completed in the past with a continuing effect in the present". 
Wish English did.

Oh; with "violates" in capitals I thought you were drawing attention to
that. "have copied" is the perfect tense. Can we do gerunds? I'm rather
fond of them, :)

The Present Perfect?

Maybe you want to give "isomaster" a try. It is in the repos and it is easy to 
handle.

Happy hacking.

Does it prevent making the mistake of not capitilising proper nouns?

Don't know, but maybe the op will test it himself?

The OP isn't given to testing and reporting back on success.

He sets tests. If you pass them you get the seal of approval. Otherwise,
nothing.

Considering the remark you are responding to was my criticism of my own
spelling, you might want to reflect on your response.

On the other hand - maybe not. Guilty, as accused. I'll not even claim
typos. :)

It has.  The perfect tense.  That is exactly what it is.

Hmm.

In Windows, I know the 7-Zip utility can open and extract ISOs, but the
7z command-line utility in Linux apparently doesn't have that ability
(at least not as packaged in Debian).

For most purposes, I'd just use mount and then either cp or rsync, but
if you need to automate it as non-root it looks like you can do that
with orrisox (part of the xorriso package):

orrisox -indev /path/to/file.iso -extract . -subdir
/path/to/output/directory

Browsing man page suggests that "-extract iso_rr_path disk_path" 
is explicitly what I'm looking for. Don't have time for a 
detailed read right now. Thank you.

Brainfart typo here; '-subdir' is not necessary and would probably give
an error. The command would be:

for file in /media/distributionA/*.iso; do \
  orrisox -indev "$file" . /media/distributionA/poolA ; \
done

And/or similar, more-complex twiddlings if you have other
/media/distribution* directories which you want to handle. (Note that
this will not work as expected if the two ISOs have any pathnames in
common.)

You're quite welcome.
