Due to the way iso9660 (cd) filesystems are arranged, they cannot be written to after they are created. The easiest option would be to copy all the files to a directory on your hard disk, make the required changes, and use mkisofs to regenerate a new iso9660 filesystem. This will likely require more than a cursory perusal of mkisofs(8), given that you wish to create a bootable CD. -- Fuzzy love, -CyberLeo Technical Administrator CyberLeo.Net Webhosting http://www.CyberLeo.Net <CyberLeo@CyberLeo.Net> Furry Peace! - http://wwww.fur.com/peace/
