One needs to have dpkg installed on the linux box to open or install a.deb file.
TO check if the dpkg is installed one can check using the following tutorial Install dpkg on fedora machine
Now go to directory where package.deb is kept and type the following command
[root@localhost Downloads]# dpkg -i package.deb

3 -Click on Enable Touchpad with Clicks and finally click on the close button.

Let us assume the iso image name is disk-test.iso
# mkdir /mnt/iso
# mount -o loop disk-test.iso /mnt/iso
# cd /mnt/iso
Unlike Windows Vista or XP, Linux doesn’t have to separately install Nero Burning ROM or CD image writer if you plan to create an ISO image to backup a CD or a DVD.
The standard dd command is available in linux to do this job.
Do not mount CD. Verify if cd is mounted or not with mount command:
#mount
If the cd is mounted automatically unmount the cd using the unmount command:
#umount /dev/cdrom
Check the exact location where the cd is mounted to unmount it.
Now once the cd is unmounted we can create an ISO image of it using the dd command
