Hello users,

Perhaps I am just being stupid, doing a lot of things at the same time,
thus losing it.
Am I just dreaming by imagining that I can mount an ISO image with write
access?

I have done

[root@ns2]#vnconfig /dev/vn0c /wananchi/FreeSBIE-1.0-i386.iso
[root@ns2]#mount_cd9660 /dev/vn0c /freesbie

This mounts the image in read-only mode. However, I would like to modify
a few files on the image before writing it to a CD.

The man page for mount says that I could use -o -w to achieve a write
mode. Does this also apply to ISO iamages? I was thinking that once
mounted, they should behave like regular files, no?
