ISO files are the CD images and therefore you will not be able to write by just loop mounting them. To add a data into this iso file, copy the entire contents of it to a temporary area, add the data here and then create the iso using this area. Following is the generic method which can be used to create isos on RedHat.
# mkdir /tmp/loop /tmp/temporay # mount -o loop /home/isubodh/ReactOS.iso /tmp/loop # cp -Rp /tmp/loop/* /tmp/temporay (or you can use cpio/ tar etc.. to copy the contents to /tmp/temporay) # cd /tmp/temporay # mkdir Softs ( Add any data that you want under /tmp/temporay) # cd /tmp # mkisofs -o <output_file.iso> temporay What I understand, generally the ISO images are for creating OS media, which in your case also seems to be the same. Therefore install-order does matter. I am not sure how will you create it for reactOS. I believe the new ISO file that you want should also create the bootable CD, so be sure to specify the "-b" switch. The other interesting switches for mkisofs on redhat are: -V, -A, -P, -p, -c, -x etc... Please refer man page for further details.
