Thanks. In fact, I just finally got this working about an hour before  
your email arrived.

1) I was not realizing it wanted to simply see the entire ISO disk  
mount as you described above.

2) This still did not work for me. I needed to modify the livecd-iso- 
to-disk bash script exactly as indicated here:

Then it worked perfectly.

Thanks for the help.
