win is costs 30 dollars to buy! i think that that is insane! i know,as a semi-programmer (ti-basic, some c++, and basic) that it takes a long time to write the code for an in depth program. but i dont think that it should be 30 dollars for a program to rewrite iso images, that is some thing that should be postcardware, or gooddeedware, not a product that you pay a lot for. just look at the maers of linux! they distribute their products for free, and only ask for donations (of course, there is a cd you can buy) i give applause to the freeware programmers of the world, giving their programs out to help others.

Try Ultra-iso...
It works well, and rather than the free version
being time limited, it's size limited.
The limit is 300MB's , so it's great for making those custom
DSL discs on the mini 185 MB cdr's

Or make 2 iso's, 1 for your os, and 1 for your extras..
Then burn them to the same cdr 1-at-a-time using multisession.

How do you make / burn two different ISOs to one CD? I thought one of the hassles of the bootable CD format was that you had to burn the ISO in one hit and finalise the CD?
Any info would be appreciated, I'm using Nero 5.5

See this post for info on multisession burning.
< http://damnsmalllinux.org/cgi-bin....session >
Adding a second session, or adding another .iso burn only
requires offsetting the start sector for the second .iso

Depends how much you plan to use the program to decide if it is worth it to you. I'm looking into kISO as a replacement. You should be able to run this program on a Full Knoppix. I'm looking for a GTK-based app that could be used on DamnSmall or see how big kISO and its dependencies would be. Probably too big as it needs QT.
