Ok, you 'dd' the boot image, and use -b to combine it with what ever 
useful files you need on the CD, thus creating an ISO.

However, what I have is an ISO, consisting of a boot image *already* 
combined with someone elses idea of useful files.

The difficult part is figuring how to remove the "useful" files already in 
the bootable ISO so I end up with a "pure" boot image that I can then 
recombine with *my* idea of what's useful.
