 It is my understanding that an ISO image is a complete filesystem and as
 such can not be edited in place or appended to.

 The method for adding content is thus:

  - mount the ISO as a read-only filesystem.

 You can do this as root with
 {{{
  mount -t iso9660 -o loop cdrom.iso /mnt/point/
 }}}

 or as a regular user with
 {{{
 fuseiso -p cdrom.iso /mnt/point.$$
 # to unmount:
 fusermount -u /mnt/point.$$
 }}}

  - once mounted `cp -r` the whole thing (perhaps `tar | tar` to preserve
 attributes??) over to a dir on your regular filesystem.

  - then add the extra files to your local copy.

  - finally use mkisofs to create a new ISO.



 caveat: I've never tried this and I don't know how well it works or if it
 works at all. treat as a random web search hit.
