You need to use mkisofs with the -r and -T options, and if you have a
newer version there's -J for joliet as well.
As far as loopback goes, check you have loop.o, and then try
mount /tmp/image.iso /mnt/images -tiso9660 -o loop
IIRC and see how far you get. It's lovely, I do it all the time when I
couldn't be bothered writing the iso image to CD but I want to install
from it. I just export it over nfs to the office :)
