Hi,
Anyone knows a software that allows me to add and remove files from an
ISO image in FC4, like UltraISO and others in Windows? Is there a way to
mount an ISO image read/write?
Thanks,
Marcelo
Mount it with the loop device, make changes as needed and umount.
Here's my script for mounting an iso, just pass it the name of the iso
file (and "mkdir /mnt/iso" before running this).
cat isoMount
#!/bin/bash
echo "mounting $1 as /mnt/iso"
mkdir /mnt/iso 2>/dev/null
mount -t iso9660 -o loop ${1} /mnt/iso
When you're done, cd out of it and "umount /mnt/iso"
The ISO9660 file system is read-only by design, once it has been
created. Thus I highly doubt you can successfully do write operations on
it by mounting it in linux via a loop device, even though mount says it
is mounted 'rw'.
I'd mount the ISO image, as the script does, copy the file tree to a
temporary place on another file system, make my modifications, then
create a new ISO image from the modified temporary tree, using mkisofs.
A shell script could help automate much of this process.
