Okay - it was a good idea in theory. However, he can mount it, copy it somewhere, modify it and then create an iso of the changes.

You can mount the iso on a loop device and manipuilate it there.



That not entirely correct.  You cannot simply use mount -o loop
name.iso  /mountpoint and expect it to be writtable.  It will NOT be
writtable, it will still only be read only.  That is probably the
problem he is running into.   There are ways to mount it in write mode,
but I've never needed to do this myself so I have no idea if it even
works or not.  You might be able to use mount -o loop,rw name.iso
/mountpoint.  But I've never tried it, so I dont know if that would work
or not.

Subject: [gentoo-user] adding files to an iso image

Does anyone know of a linux based prog to add files to an iso image?
There are windows based ones but thats a route I'd rather not go down.

Thanks in advance
