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.
