You can mount ISOs as loopback devices as stated previously, additionally the hands down best method for testing is vmware as it can pretend a .iso is the cdrom drive and automatically boot from it, no burn and test, burn and test. You can't really edit a mounted iso (ro file system) but you can use the mounted folder as a root for mkisofs. Works like a charm I used it to build the 50KM cds at the time. I am very interested in this too, for other reasons than plug, so we might be able to have some crossover here. Sincerely, David Uhlman CTO 50km Inc.
