I found a reference in the archives that talks of being able to mount an
iso image and updating the rpms in it regening hdlist and then
installing from it. Sounds good but even though mount reports the
partition as rw I cannot write to it.
here is the line from mount
/pub/SoftWare/linux_software/iso/zoot-i386.iso on /pub/redhatiso type
iso9660 (rw,loop=/dev/loop0)
this is what happens
[root@compaq2 redhatiso]# touch testfile
touch: testfile: Read-only file system
[root@compaq2 redhatiso]# ls -al
total 76
drwxrwxr-x 8 root root 2048 Mar 8 2000 .

[root@compaq2 redhatiso]#
here is the mount command i use
mount /pub/SoftWare/linux_software/iso/zoot-i386.iso -o loop
/pub/redhatiso
Is this indeed possible? Any tips appreciated
