You may be referring to the thread I had earlier, and I saw the 
suggestion to use mount with loop. there was an option added to their 
suggestion of rw, but I thought when I tried it way back when I couldn't 
use rw on the iso image...your answer seems to add to that argument that 
it doesn't work that way.

I did install ISO Master, though. :-)

Does anyone know one way or the other if you can acually use loop to 
mount an ISO image and write to it?  I thought that only worked if you 
were mastering an image to burn, not one that's turned into an ISO image 
yet..?
