1. Mount my Fedora image ( FC_5i386 ), which is on my CD ROM onto a point on My FedorCore5
2. Enable Writing / Editing to it
3. Burning it back as an image???
You'll need to be root to do most of this. Firstly, create a directory to mount it into:
Code:
mkdir /media/FC5
Then mount it:
Code:
mount -o loop FC5.iso /media/FC5
You now have a normal directory structure representing the ISO under /media/FC5. It behaves as any other directory. Read/write to/from it at will, the ISO is kept up-to-date as changes are made. In this respect, you can think of the ISO being just like another hard disk, but instead of being a physical disk it's stored in a single file instead.
When you're done, unmount it:
Code:
umount /media/FC5
And then to burn it (assuming this is a CD, not a DVD)
OR DO u think doing the following is a better Option???
cp -a /media/FC5 /tmp/
Make all changes in /tmp/FC5. ( this i'm able to modify successfully ), probably bcoz its no longer a image & is just a directory....
now i have trouble figuring out how to use the mkisofs command!!
The iso9660 filesystem is read-only. You will need to copy the files to another directory tree, make your changes and then burn a new image. You might want to read through the cdrom burning howto at http://www.tldp.org web site.
Has anyone found a an ISO editor that works under linux ?
As far as mkisofs is concerned, is it possible to include the boot code as well ? I am trying to edit one of the bootable linux CDs. If I mount the iso image on a directory and copy the contents to another directory then, use mkisofs, would it produce a bootable CD as the original ?
