Hi: First, I highly recommend the CD writing howto. It's packed with lots of useful info. You will need mkisofs and something with which to write the image to a CD (such as cdrecord). Here's what I'd do: 1. mount the iso image. This is a real neat thing you can do with linux, saving you the bother of burning it to a CD first. Note that if you already have it on a CD then you may as well not bother as you'll need to transfer it all to your hard drive anyway. To mount the ISO image, do the following: mount -t iso9660 -o loop filename.iso /mountpoint For example: mount -t iso9660 -o loop image.iso /mnt Note that you need the loopback device in your kernel in order to do this. 2. If you've mounted the iso, copy everything out into some other place on your hard drive. If you've mounted a CD, do the same. The reason is that neither the iso image or the CD itself will let you change the files without moving them first. 3. change files as necessary. 4. Make the image with mkisofs. This is the tricky bit. You'll need to make it bootable, and this is something I can't advise you on ... but the howto will tell you what you need to know. Remember that you'll need to change the kernel in the boot image on the CD. 5. Write the image to a CD. The bootable bit will be important here too. Hope this helps to a point. Remember to get the latest version of any howto you want to read. You can get the CD writing howto from http://wt.xpilot.org/linux/ Geoff.
