Using the Gentoo Linux LiveCD (2007.0-r1), I've got the mount part down.
However, all the "good stuff" is contained in the image.squashfs file,
and that ....I cannot get into.

I'd suggest that the path you are looking to follow is

- Mount the CD
- Copy the contents to a directory on your hard disk
- insert the file
- Create a new iso file from the directory tree
- Burn a new CD


I've seen procedures for creating the image, most burner software will
let you create a bootable CD, you will need the original CD on hand so
you can get the Linux boot bits.



Should work OK, if you have nero on your windows system it's got the
bootable CD options.
