[mythtv-users] HOW CAN THIS BE THIS HARD!?!?!?! (adding 2 files to a bootable iso)

[Joe Votour]

I don't know if you've tried this or not, but you can
try mounting the ISO using the loopback device,
something like (the directory /mnt/iso must exist
first):
mount -t iso -o loop filename.iso /mnt/iso

You'll need to be root to do this.  After you unmount
the ISO, your changes should be in the ISO image,
ready to burn.

The only thing, is that I don't know if this preserves
the El Torito boot information.  I would guess it's
part of the ISO, but I don't know how that's laid out.

(Also, if the ISO contains multiple sections (like a
bootable floppy portion which gets mapped to A:, and a
hard drive-like portion that gets mapped to somewhere
else, well, I definitely don't know how to deal with
that).
