You should do a "cd" to the directory where you have downloaded the iso 
image first. And you have to be root to do a loop mount.

# su -
# cd /home/sluser    (<-- if this is the place of your iso image)
# mkdir -p /mnt/iso
# mount -o loop mini_livecd_SL42_2006-03-28.iso /mnt/iso

# ls mini_livecd_SL42_2006-03-28.iso
or just
# ls
do show all files in the current directory.


By the way, if you are doing this on a running LiveCD system, the CD is 
already mounted under /livecd/live/livecd/hdc - assuming your CD-ROM is 
the third IDE device (hdc).
