Cool, the power of open source team work. Could you provide your new script?
I've published mine somewhere else and would like to also adjust this.

Re: Writable partition for D-I ISO images

[Thomas Lange]

A followup to my post from December

It's possible to access the data partition when booting a real CD
using mount with an offset.

offset=$(fdisk -l /dev/sr0 | awk '/p3/ { print $2 * 512 }')
mount -ooffset=$offset /dev/sr0 /data

But the partition is read-only.
