I would hope this would be as easy as run this program to change the image to read-write. Due to the way iso9660 (cd) filesystems are arranged, they cannot be written to after they are created. The easiest option would be to copy all the files to a directory on your hard disk, make the required changes, and use mkisofs to regenerate a new iso9660 filesystem. This will likely require more than a cursory perusal of mkisofs(8), given that you wish to create a bootable CD. -- Fuzzy love, -CyberLeo Technical Administrator CyberLeo.Net Webhosting http://www.CyberLeo.Net [EMAIL PROTECTED] Furry Peace! - http://.fur.com/peace/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Making a mounted ISO image of a CD-ROM writable
Greetings again. I want to make an ISO image of the FreeBSD distribution with a boot.config file that contains /boot/loader -h. I have the ISO image as a file on my hard drive, and have mounted it on /mnt: mdconfig -a -t vnode -f /path/to/my/bootable.iso -u 0 mount -w -t cd9660 /dev/md0 /mnt However, when I try to create files on /mnt, I get: -su: boot.config: Read-only file system How do I make it so that I can write into /mnt so that I can then later save those back to the ISO image? --Paul Hoffman ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
