In fact there is appinfo directory with fdkernel.lsm packaged within those zips. So, I believe, there is a way to actually install it with fdupdate. But as for me, it is much more straightforward to just unzip\overwrite.
As for ISO editor it depends on OS you're using. For building ISOs in DOS you can use mkisofs from cdrtools. For Linux there is AcetoneISO and ISO Master. For Windows there is tons of ISO editing soft, from crappy ones to power-tools like UltraISO or MagicISO. While most of it will cost you some money, there is still few freeware ones, most notable: AVS Disc Creator (http://www.avs4you.com/avs-disc-creator.aspx), Visual-ISO (http://dpaehl.dd6338.kasserver.com/cdr/visualiso.php) and of course CDmage (http://cdmage.orconhosting.net.nz/frames.html) On 08.04.11 18:25, STF wrote: > OK, thanks.
