how do I copy an .iso file to root in Ubuntu
How can i copy an .iso file to the root directory in Ubuntu?
Unetbootin cannot detect my ubuntu.iso unless it will be moved to the root.
When I attempt to move it, into the root, the system tells me I do not have permissions.
How can i assign permissions ?
permissions root-filesystem

You mean the directory /root, right?
How about you execute the file manager Nautilus with root permission (sudo nautilus) and copy you iso where you need it? But be careful using Nautilus as root!
Maybe you should ask a different question... Do you actually want to write that iso to usb drive, or so? Why not using Disk Writer, Gnome's native tool, or dd?
