[RULE] editing the RULE ISO

[Ingo Lantschner]

Hi,
this is propably slightly offtopic, but I think this question will arise
sooner or later. 

The Slinky-ISO uses around 50 MB of Diskspace on a CD-ROM. There is lot
of space for Apps und Doku one may give to the recipients in a given
project. I already tried to extract the ISO to a harddrive (NTFS on W2k),
added a directory and made a new ISO with Nero. Since this CD was not
usable for a slinkyinstall, I guessed that due to failing
Rockridge-Extensions under Windos the CD may not be readable in Linux.
So I made a new ISO with 'mkisofs -JR ...' (runs in cygwin)  - with more
or less the same result: Slinky could neither boot nor read it. (Well,
the not-booting is somehow understandable)

Also I am looking for a possibility to use a customized slinky.config,
which leads me to the same problem. 

Googeling around brought me the result that the ISO9660 was not designed
to be edited. Any idea?

Bye, Ingo.
