Yes, UDF looks very cool. No, it doesent quite do what I was wanting. Thanks 
for pointing it out though, I shal certainly  be able to use it for some 
other purposes.

Trouble is that most .iso's I've seen are images of finalised CDs. I am 
wanting to take something like the Ultimate Boot CD and add my own utils to 
the system. (and of course UBCD has as part of its docs how to do this 
using mkisofs... I was just hoping that there was a lazy way of doing it 
using mount loop :) 

Thanks for the feedback in any case :).
