Don't mean to be a pain but;

I don't think ISOs EVER belong in CVS.

CVS is "concurrent versions system".  There is no way you are going to be
able to manage different VERSIONS of ISOs.  
A diff will do you no good.  A checkout to get the source code will take
many hours over a 144k IDSL link.

CVS is a SOURCE CODE control system.  SOURCE CODE is what belongs in CVS.

As an administrator of CVS for several years I beg you, PLEASE, PLEASE,
PLEASE don't put binaries or worse yet ISOs into CVS.

Thanks for listening,
