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? -Wash http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html -- +======================================================================+ |\ _,,,---,,_ | Odhiambo Washington <wash@wananchi.com> Zzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ | Wananchi Online Ltd. www.wananchi.com |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-'| Tel: +254 20 313985-9 +254 20 313922 '---''(_/--' `-'\_) | GSM: +254 722 743223 +254 733 744121 +======================================================================+ After an instrument has been assembled, extra components will be found on the bench.
