I was wondering about that.

A deeper google suggests that ISOs are built whole, and not as
filesystems. If it can be mounted as a filesystem, though, why can't
someone write a 'write' function for isofs? 

I guess I have to build a FreeBSD machine so I can run the build process
and make a fresh ISO with the necessary flags set. Oh well. Maybe
there's a bootable CD I can use.

Thanks.
