How to join two ISO image files in Linux?

Basically you have to mount the two ISOs, then use mkisofs to create a single image from the two mounted filesystems, e.g.
Code:
mount -o loop image1.iso /path/to/mountpoint/1
mount -o loop image2.iso /path/to/mountpoint/2
mkisofs -o image.iso /path/to/mountpoint/1 /path/to/mountpoint/2
You might also take a look at http://multicd.tuxfamily.org/.

^ Thanks for posting that link. I hadn't seen that before. Will be trying it out. I see several of the distros I use are on the list.

is the
/path/to/mountpoint/1
changeable?
Can i make it to be
/image/to/mountpoint/1 ?

Yes. You can have "/path/to/mountpoint/1" be any valid path on your system.

This statement
mkisofs -o image.iso /path/to/mountpoint/1 /path/to/mountpoint/2

will put the combined image file in which folder?

mkisofs -o image.iso /path/to/mountpoint/1 /path/to/mountpoint/2
= image.iso

Presumably the directory in which you run mkisofs. Obviously, you can specify a full path for the image file, e.g. /image.iso.
