John,

	I think that I located your instructions at
https://www.redhat.com/archives/nahant-list/2005-February/msg00184.html.  In
your posting you state:

	mount -o ro,loop RHEL4-i386-WS-disc1.iso /mnt/tmp1
	mount -o ro,loop RHEL4-i386-WS-disc2.iso /mnt/tmp2
	mount -o ro,loop RHEL4-i386-WS-disc3.iso /mnt/tmp3
	mount -o ro,loop RHEL4-i386-WS-disc4.iso /mnt/tmp4

	...

	cp -a /mnt/tmp1/isolinux /mnt/tmp1/.discinfo  .   # about 4.5MB
	chmod +w isolinux/isolinux.bin
	rm -f isolinux/boot.cat

	...

	The `cp -a` fails because /mnt/tmp1 is a read only mount of disc1.  Please
advise.

				Regards,
