    Sometimes it's easier if you put the ISO file on disk. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto

    Others might be able to suggest ways of mounting the ISO file as if it were a CD without the need to burn it to CD.

    That's what I need, seeing that I have no CD/DVD big enough.

    You can mount an iso image with the following command from the terminal. Open up Applications->Accessories->Terminal

    Code:
    mkdir somedirectory
    sudo mount -o loop /path/to/the/iso/file /path/to/somedirectory
    now u should be able to browse through the contents of the disc from the somedirectory folder itself
