Or dd the whole CD to disk if he has the space available (likely nowadays), then mount in 'rw' as a iso9660 loopback device. Replace $user with a valid username/location. mkdir /mnt/tmpiso/ dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/home/$user/temp.iso mount -o loop -t iso9660 /home/$user/temp.iso /mnt/tempiso That should be writable IIRC. If not, mess about with the mount options until it is. Edit away and you should be fine. Will.
