*but* ever one needs to be 'root' user when editing files owned by 'root, as is case of loop mounting an iso and editing boot.conf, which is main of this thread. i started to remove "linuxnewbie82's" comment on mkisofs, then i thought that Kevin should be aware of "linuxnewbie82's" comment, and the mkisofs instructions following on page, presuming Kevin would read rest of page. -- peace out.
