You can't mount an ISO image file read/write and manipulate it. Are you building an ISO image from a directory tree full of files, or did you get the ISO file directly from an FTP site? Usually getting the original ISO is the best way to do things, so you get an exact replica of the original CD. If you are copying a physical CD, the best way is just like this: cdrecord -v dev=/dev/sgc speed=4 /dev/scd0 assuming /dev/scd0 contains the source CD and /dev/sgc is the CD writer device. Set the speed to only as fast as the source CD drive is. If you only have one CD-ROM drive, this obviously won't work, so you would need to 'dd' the image to disk first: dd if=/dev/scd0 of=rh71apps.iso then cdrecord that file. -- Charles R.
