I tired this but it do not work!
Iso is read only filesystem blabla and so on.

You must be root.

Try search for Linux edit .iso.....

ProzacR · 2007-12-30 20:03:42

Maybe it is really read-only.

What about isomaster? It's in the community repository.

He shows how to combine 3 live CDs into 1 bootable iso.

I am pretty sure that you cannot edit a bootable iso.
You will have to mount the iso, extract all the files,
change what you want to the extracted files, and
make a new iso from the modified extracted files.

mkdir fred
sudo mount -o loop <path to iso> ~/fred

you can then do what you need to do

recreating iso is a bit more tricky beyond my powers lol

I have a suggestion that might have merit.

When utilizing LIVE systems, the unionfs, now aufs, mounts while in root, any new device (DVD) content as r/w.

Perhaps utilizing that characteristic of aufs/unionfs will get the DVD .iso files mounted as r/w.

It is not apparent whether the .iso is CD or DVD but aufs should provide a r/w file which can be modified.

This should make the process simple.

The following is a display of files in a FaunOS.iso which has been loop mounted in root Desktop and has permissions r/w.

This a large .iso of 869MB. Many of the files are squashfs. The idea was to show the possibility of r/w for all the content of an .iso....

[file:///root/Desktop/iso/boot
file:///root/Desktop/iso/base.sqf
file:///root/Desktop/iso/boot.catalog
file:///root/Desktop/iso/etc.sqf
file:///root/Desktop/iso/faunos.img
file:///root/Desktop/iso/memtest
file:///root/Desktop/iso/overlay.sqf
file:///root/Desktop/iso/save
file:///root/Desktop/iso/system.sqf
file:///root/Desktop/iso/vmlinuzf
