Does any one know how to edit an ISO image on linux"

Hmm. I'm not sure I know what you mean. Any binary editor should be able to tweak it, but my guess that's not quite what you had in mind. The most obvious, though likely not the best solution would be:
1. But the ISO to a CD.
2. Copy the contents of the CD to a folder.
3. Edit the contents of the folder.
4. Create a new ISO from the folder.

Not sure if that's what you were looking for, though. Any other information you can give us that would make it easier to help?

Why bother with burning? I admit I'm not that l337 with linux (yet...), but can't you just mount the iso and then treat it like a CD? You know, copy the contents and edit them, then re-iso? Maybe I'm just being silly...

Thanks for your help oldphil and shensei. I mounted the ISO and copied it's contents to an empty directory . The problem I ma having now is that when I try to make a new ISO using the command mkisofs some of the file won't copy over.
here are the error messages i'm getting

mkisofs: Permission denied. File clinux/dev/core is not readable -ignoring
mkisofs: No such file or directory. File clinux/usr/lib/libmenu.so is not readable -ignoring
mkisofs: No such file or directory. File clinux/usr/lib/libform.so is not readable -ignoring
mkisofs: No such file or directory. File clinux/usr/lib/libpanel.so is not readable -ignoring

does any one know how to fix this?

Try running as root? If that doesn't work, you may need to chmod 700 (rwx for owner, should be root, only) on those files.

thank's I'll try that

Hmm... Hang on a sec...

IF you are really trying to make an ISO of all that, then yes, running as root is the issue. If you didn't mean to make an ISO of your whole system, it's likely that you have a / where you didn't want one.

Probably not going to be an issue, but I'd really hate it if someone didn't point that out to me...

actually I was trying to edit an image of an install disk for core linux.
