'mount -o loop' is in fact what I'd do myself if I were doing this manually; I'd only fall back to xorriso / orrisox if I needed to script or otherwise automate the process. (Automating it using 'mount -o loop' would only work if run as root, AFAICT, and that's not a good idea for an automated process with possibly-untrusted input. I wouldn't do it if I had any choice in the matter.) -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man. -- George Bernard Shaw
