I have a ISO creates on linux, which contains files for a bootable livecd system. The ISO uses Rock Ridge to preserve linux permissions.

I need to modify this ISO file on a windows system (without booting a linux VM), how would i go around adding a file to the ISO without loosing linux symlinks and the linux permissions?

This is part of a larger .NET application, so i am looking for a console tool or a .NET library to facilitate the modification of the iso.

I already tried the following:

  • Manually extracted and recreated the iso using mkisofs from cygwin. (Problem: looses rock ridge informaiton)
  • Modify the ISO using C# and the DiscUtils library. (Problem: DistUtils only supports reading Rock Ridge - not writing)

  • IT only supports reading as ISO was designed as a write ***once*** file system. – Cole Tobin Aug 27 '12 at 23:49

    Put a dummy file with a weel known "signature" inside the iso, replace the dummy file byte by byte with the variable data and softmount or untar it when booting from the CD. – Paulo Scardine Aug 27 '12 at 23:52
