I used Artisan Burner, and Flash CD & DVD Burner, both of which can handle ISOs, and both of which seem to come wrapped in spyware. They did manage to burn the ISO, but nothing else. So I ended up with six working live CDs, but none with any of the stuff I wanted. I gave all but one of them out at work.
Next one of my friends started playing around with WinRAR, and we found it it could open ISOs, but it couldn't save to them. So I tried taking out all the files and adding my own, and then burning them as files. That didn't work, so I used Artisan Burner to make them into a new ISO, but it wouldn't let me save without a path, and it wouldn't let me enter a path.

And that's about where I am at the moment. I have a trial version of Nero that expired a long time ago, a paid for version of MusicMatch that stopped working a long time ago, a version of record now that gets a error message while burning, and refuses to spit the cd back out for several hours. Then I have trials of Adensoft, Artisan, Flash, and BurnRight that haven't expired. And I'm downloading AShampoo Media Player, which says it can burn and save ISOs.

Hi shui!

It seems to me that you need to make a remaster of DSL to get what you want. I just posted a HOWTO in the  "Remastering HOWTO for DSL"  thread. Take   a look and see if this is what you want. You find it in the HOWTO section of this forum.

Have fun,
meo

ISOs can't be "edited" that way.

iso files can be edited - you just mount one, add whatever extensions you want to the root directory, umount and then burn a cd from the iso.
But not with WinRAR.

There are instructions on how to do this from a shell in a number of places on this forum.

A good free program for burning isos under Windows that has been recommended before on this forum is burncdcc (google for it).
AFAIK it doesn't contain spyware.

I thought ISO image files are either read-only or were created with practically zero padding such that you are limited in its size when editing its contents.  This is why the ISO file is mounted first, then its contents are copied somewhere, then extensions are added to that copy, then a new ISO is made from that copy.

Anyway, this exact procedure is described in full detail in the DSL Documentation and in the "big remastering thread", both courtesy of meo.  Shui, if you cannot follow the instructions on that thread, please try the DSL menu item "Apps -> Tools -> Make myDSL CD Remaster".
