Do tell. I'm not aware of any ISO-9660 filesystem driver for any Unix which includes write support. The ISO-9660 filesystem was not designed to support editing, and some of the data structures assume knowledge of the entire filesystem layout in advance. While I don't doubt that it would be *possible* to implement such write support, it seems unlikely anyone would bother. The only place ISO-9660 gets used is on optical media which don't behave like a random access writable block device. Note that "mkisofs" is not a filesystem driver, not does it edit the image in place. It can create new sessions based on old sessions, but that's not editing, it's a list of changes. > In windows use poweriso or winiso etc etc. Never used 'em; I'll take your word for it. :) -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
