Now we can copy the files. Run `sudo cp ./DebianISO/. /mnt/` to copy the

necessary or a good idea to have there.)

I've gone astray somewhere around here. The directory DebianISO is read 
only and so is /mnt. I attempted to change them to read and write but I 
probably need to remove the contents first.

cp: cannot create regular file '/mnt/./.disk/cd_type': Read-only file system
cp: cannot create regular file '/mnt/./.disk/info': Read-only file system
cp: cannot create regular file '/mnt/./.disk/mkisofs': Read-only file system
cp: cannot create regular file '/mnt/./.disk/multi_arch': Read-only file 
system
cp: cannot create regular file '/mnt/./.disk/udeb_include': Read-only 
file system
cp: preserving times for '/mnt/./.disk': Read-only file system
cp: preserving times for '/mnt/.': Read-only file system
