>Why would you need to fiddle with the boot image? Don't understand your >point. Carlos :-)
If you stick the CD in you PC and copy the files over into a big fat file that is formatted like an ISO image, you lose the boot image. So you will not have a functional duplicate. The point is that if you want to create an iso image on your MS Windows PC you need additional software to make that copy. Your CD may be in such a format that MS Windows does not handle it well. If he's going to pull the file off the CD on the PC then there is little need to put the files back into an ISO imaga and mount that via the loopback device. He might as well keep the files and use them as is. Rob
