If you're thinking of regular music files or something like that and not trying to modify your operating system, then you can do something like this...

I'm sort of assuming that the iso is on /dev/cdrom and the iso name is somefile.iso for this example.

mount -t iso9660 -o ro,loop=/dev/loop0 somefile.iso /mnt/cdrom
mkdir /mnt/test
cp /mnt/cdrom/* /mnt/test
umount /mnt/cdrom
cd /mnt/test
and check to see if you copied things over correctly.

Copy the files to be added to the /mnt/test directory.

While in the /mnt/test directory, create a new iso image and save it to the /home directory with the command:
mkisofs -r -o /home/newfile.iso .

Now you can burn it to a cdrom with this command:
cdrecord -v speed=4 dev=0,0,0 -data /home/newfile.iso


If you meant to change the images for your operating system, that is much more complicated and you would need to do some googling for that info.

I just wanted to add some files (savegames) to a copy of some game i have. I'll try that and see if that works. Sounds correct though.

I've tried that BUT
(1) the progress bar during the iso creation stays @ 0% although the cd IS being transfered (minor problem)
(2) choose files or directories 2 add but i can't see them anywhere (major problem!)
