    As far as I know the CD-ROM file system is read only. The work around
    is: read the files into a suitable directory ("cp -rp /mnt/winiso/*
    /new/directory/somewhere/" [ -rp to copy recursively and preserve
    permissions]), edit at will. Then create a new ISO image from the
    contents of that directory.

    You may find the following a useful guide if you can read my shell
    script hacking: http://www.charlescurley.com/buildiso.html. You will
    want to replace the boot disk image with a suitable Mess-DOS boot
    image. Once you've done that, xcdroast is your friend.
