Even if you make it "-o rw,loop", it still refuses to write to the image. It looks like you have to copy everything off to a conventional (rw) filesystem, make your changes, and then re-build a new iso9660 image with mkisofs. There is information on the man page for mkisofs on how to make the iso bootable with several differnt boot types: El Torito, sparc, generic, etc. Sorry 'bout that chief, Dave
