I can understand this. What you want to do can be done, but it requires
significant understanding of what a bootable CD really is. It's a more
than just some files burned on the CD.

You could do this, but it will take you some time to learn enough to
rebuild the ISO with the proper format. It's not hard. It's a cookbook
type of thing, but you need to understand the purpose of the various
ingedients.

I have an auxilary CD too, but I minimize the CD swaps to 1 by copying the
auxilary CD content to hard disk after the format is complete.

That said, if you want to learn how to build a modified, bootable eCS CD,
I'm willing to teach you. I always prefer working with those that are
inquistive enough to be willing to try new things and push their
boundaries.

HTH,

Steven
