Several reasons:
1. I can check the integrity of an ISO image very quickly
2. Storing both an ISO image and the contents of an ISO image uses
more disk space

I don't really want to use a loopback device either.
I remember reading that this was possible, and would like to know how to do it.

Thanks!
